(And stats are uncapped) Also free feat at L1.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Alternative that's less tightly 3.5 but feels more 3.5 to me: No ASIs. Instead feats at L1 and every even level. If you want to boost your stats take half-feats</li> </ul></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">No hit dice - but lots of magical healing (wands of Cure Light Wounds/Lesser Vigor)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Crafting is explicit and player controlled. Artificers get bonuses</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">No attunement</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Magic item markets</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">More armour bonuses so armour still means a lot at high levels. (i.e. you can have a +X Shield, +X Armour, and a +X amulet)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Attacks of opportunity against anyone who tries to shoot or cast a not explicitly melee spell in combat</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Skill points rather than proficiency bonuses. You can't skill to more than expertise.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Crits do full double damage</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Extra damage for two handed weapons (magic shields are going to change the balance); I'd make two handed weapons crit on a 19-20</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Spiked chains</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Weapon Finesse takes a half-feat. Otherwise you attack with strength</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Ranged missile damage is based on str not dex</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Move either before or after attacking, not part way through</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Concentration doesn't make a cap to your spell numbers (although concentration checks stay). Disclaimer: I think this is a bad choice overall</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">2 failed death saves not 3.</li> </ul>Things that would set the mood but I really wouldn't want to see:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Iterative full round attacks</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Armour check penalty</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Cantrips become limited use/day</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Healing word and rituals are both out</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Random types of monster including plants, constructs, and undead are immune to both crits and sneak attack</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Rogues lose cunning action. Instead:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Disengage takes a skill check by a new skill (Tumble)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Hide as a bonus action can be done by anyone ... at -10</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Dash can't be done as a bonus action</li> </ul></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Everyone except wizards and clerics have their subclasses delayed until level 6. Clerics all gain heavy armour but cleric and wizard subclasses mostly just give an extra spell per spell level per day only in their domains.</li> </ul></blockquote>
