[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 7166910, member: 7006"] Sorry [Not sorry]! He doesn't have a full "solution". Not yet anyway. Not for every bonus action across the board. Why? Because there's no reason to make one. Because again... [I]the game isn't changing and removing Bonus actions.[/I] So he has no reason to actually fully work the rules out! Instead, he just TALKS about it. But, he now knows that HAD they the opportunity to remove Bonus actions from the game, how he would go about it. What would be involved. Would it involve a whole crap-ton of playtesting? Of course. But as that all would have been done during the three years of D&D Next playtesting, I'm fairly certain they would have come up with a system as effective and useful as what they currently have involving bonus actions. But again... since they [B]aren't[/B] changing anything, why do you [I]CARE[/I]? Is your gaming identity so tied up into the 5E rules that the mere [I]mention[/I] of a rule being perhaps better in a different form a slap in your face? Well, I got news for you... there are PLENTY of rules in 5E that could be made better. By you. By me. By other folks here on EN World. And yes, by Mike Mearls himself. And seeing as how it was the vision of Mike Mearls and the rest of the design staff who GAVE US the 5E rules that you seem to love in the first place... to suggest that he is NOW incapable of coming up with something better is utterly ridiculous in my opinion. And quite frankly, I'd trust him with his concepts for new 5E rules much more often than just a random player like the folks on this board. But hey, that's just me. [/QUOTE]
