Message: <blockquote data-quote="jmartkdr2" data-source="post: 8186484" data-attributes="member: 7017304">My guess: if they do  6e in the next few years:1. It will be very similar to, probably even fully compatible with, the current edition.2. They won't call it 5.X or something, that was a silly naming convention in the first place and only done because they though it was needed. The next edition will be called 6e, even if we grognards call it 5.5 among ourselves.3. Race as a term is gone, and the rule that replaces it (probably lineage) will not include ASIs4. They might move more meat t the backgrounds to make the lineages more flexible.5. They might find a way to make alignment less relevant, but they won't drop it entirely. Maybe they'll just list it with other personality traits.6. I don't see them restructuring classes in a way that creates more decision points - one of 5e's best selling features is how easy it is to dive into compared to previous editions. If they change it at all it will be finding ways to make character creation faster and easier.7. The 6e PHB will include not only all the errata but a few adjustments to how certain currently wonky subsystems work, ie better two-weapon fighting rules or clearer instructions for handling stealth. But nothing big enough to force you to change your character sheet if you don't want to.My only realistic hope is the return of Epic Destinies, but if they're going to do that they'll put them in a 5e supplement first.Edit: as someone else mentioned, they might overhaul the ranger, but that's the only class I foresee getting a major change. They might (and should) tweak other classes to leave more room for subclasses to do cool new stuff, (ie if fighter subclasses had more room to play with warlord would be a fine subclass option, but the current core fighter is just too fighty to make it work) but I wouldn't say that's particularly likely.</blockquote>
