Message: <blockquote data-quote="Strider1973" data-source="post: 8869717" data-attributes="member: 6798760">Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition is still one of my favourite game systems, together with a bunch of other systems, but in my personal top chart it has lost the pole position, so to speak.Here is my initial wish list for One D&D:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">I'd like a more refined and detailed Skill System, and Proficiency Bonus System, event if I know it won't happen, since it would cause some serious issues about backwards compatibility. I like for instance what PF2 has done with the Proficiency System (I don't recall the exact name, now), and I like also what Level Up! Advanced 5th edition has done with Skill Specialties. I'd like One D&D made a step in that direction, even simply looking at Skill Specialties as inspiration (no pun intended...): I would like there were more ways to customize your characters without recurring to martial abilities or spells you can cast.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Better rules for Half Races, or rather Hybrid Species now: please, WotC, look at what Level Up! Advanced Fifth Edition has done, or even again PF2; even on DMs Guild there are excellent third party books for Hybrid Species. Please, WotC, put more crunch and more flavor as well into Hybrid Species!</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">I'd like also a series of "official" optional rules to tone down the magic in the game, so that the players would be able to play different kind and styles of fantasy, not necessarily High Fantasy: magic is really too much mundane in 5th edtion, and it seems to me it will be even more so in One D&D!</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">I'd like a more reliable CR/Balancing Encounter System: again, according to me both PF2 and Level Up! Advanced Fifth Edition have done a better job at creating a more consistent and reliable System to create encounters as difficult or easy as the GM/DM wants them to be than D&D 5th Edition has done, even with the improvement in Xanathar's Guide to Everything.</li> </ol>Merry Christmas and Happy life and Happy New Year to you and to all your dear ones, and Peace to the Whole World!</blockquote>
