That was the announcement that they were planning to replace the gold standard values of items with the silver standard. (ie. a coat of mail costs 100 sp). It just seems like such a brave yet sensible decision that I can't help but give their stewardship over the next edition of D&D the benefit of the doubt. My excitement level has ramped right up.
I am a sucker for necromancers. Give me a way to play as one while it being fair to the other party members and not feel under powered.
Council of Wyrms for the 5e core setting, who's with me?Well, this one is kind of random, but...
If the game lets me play as a dragon, play as a knight who rides a dragon into battle, and/or play as a character whose main concept is transforming into a dragon (weredragon?), then I'm sold. No question. A game with the mechanical flexibility needed for all of those kinds of things would be a significant step up from all previous versions of the game.
