[QUOTE="RPG_Tweaker, post: 3815679, member: 13041"] RACES: • +2 STR = -2 INT & -2 CHA and its ilk. Especially since point-buy includes no such disparity. • Favored class as a stick rather than carrot. • Cultural tendencies built into the race. CLASSES: • Lack of a sword-mage in PHB. • Druid weapon/armor limitations as if metal isn't natural... also scimitar okay; longword bad‽ • The paladin vs. cleric as crusader/templar archetype; reduce cleric to light armor. • Cleric as uber-buff kick-ass FTR. • Max spell level based on primary stat (all WIZ are 19 INT, all CLR are 19 WIS, all SOR are 19 CHA). DESCRIPTION: • Alignment as a mechanic. • 110-year old debutante elves. EQUIPMENT: • Random starting money with too large a range. • Encumbrance • Weapon weights... a 16 lb. falchion‽‽ • Incredibly silly double weapons. COMBAT: • ARMOR CLASS: Better armors should grant [i]some[/i] kind of DR or reduce criticals. • HIT POINTS: Too abstract. • PC HP range too vast (4- to 340+) falling damage, fire damage, and daggers are laughable. ADVENTURING: • Better defined XP reward for non-combat MAGIC & SPELLS: • 100%: No effect should be 100% (immunities, detection, etc.) • Spells that overshadow skills & abilites (knock vs. open lock) • Some spell's power-to-level ratio. • Reversable spell being separated. • Wish and Miracle... HATE THEM. These are not meant for PCs. • No wizardly animate object. • Lesser healing unavailable to wizards. • MAGIC ITEMS: Wands & staff "charges", alignment/class restrictions. • Presto's magic emporium.
