[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 6584787, member: 59082"] A lot of your concerns, which are reasonable imo, are why I think a "revised edition" isn't a bad thing a few years into every edition cycle. Even with all of the playtesting, there's no way to catch some of these things without countless hours and different playing every possible variation through every level. For instance, what you say about feats and ability bonuses implies that either feats need to be more of a higher level thing, like the original "heroic feats" idea, or they need to be ramped up - possibly both. Or maybe ability increases are automatic and PCs get feats in addition - sounds like a good house rule. Your concerns highlight just how easy it is to house-rule 5E. It would be easy to add in something for skills, for instance. Or you could adjust your nonhuman races so they get some kind of extra, distinctive racial power specific to your campaign setting. All in all I think 5E is simply terrific and any issues that I've seen or heard about can be easily addressed by house rule and/or could be tweaked for a later revision. I don't think "5E revised" would need to be "5.5" but that "5.1" or "5.2" would suffice, and maybe not even that. But the point is, they could come out with revised core rulebooks that wouldn't drastically alter everything. [/QUOTE]
