D&D (2024) What do you want to see excised?

[Reynard]

They should remove the haters.

Who would be left to play?

 

[Charlaquin]

I meant the classes that regain most of their abilities on a short rest as opposed to a long rest.

Of course, “most of their abilities” is a great deal less for those classes than it is for others. Take the warlock. With two spell slots until late game, and two encounters expected between short rests, the warlock should be able to cast about one leveled spell per encounter.

Again, taking frequent short rests to top off on resources is how they’re intended to be used.

I assume you meant short, but still I would rather see the whole system go away.

Oops! Yes, I did. Fixed.

but still I would rather see the whole system go away.

Well, I hope WotC doesn’t feel the same way.

Certain positions of privilege in the core rules.

If the multiverse is the default setting, do a better job of giving non-Realms examples. Especially Realms specific bullsh*t like "The Weave" that new players mistake for rules jargon.

The segregation of races into Tolkein fanservice "common races", and everything else as "uncommon". Stab it repeatedly, burn the body, and piss on its' ashes.

You sure about that? it starts breaking down in tier2 & completely collapses tier3. Take Level 10/11 warlock &wizard for example & compare the level 5 slots with a short rest every other encounter on a six to eight encounter day, It doesn't stop there though because if you look at dmg283 a level 11 warlock's agonizing repelling blast is trivially an at will 4th or 5th level spell analog.

Balance starts to get wonky for everyone past level 10, but yeah. One sixth level spell per day and roughly one 5th level spell per encounter compared to other casters getting 1 6th level spell, 2 5th level spells, 3 each of 4th, 2nd, and 3rd level spells, and 4 1st level spells per day at least. More than that really, thanks to features like Arcane/Natural Recovery, Flexible Casting, etc. Warlocks get such a strong cantrip to compensate for their inability to nova.

What should 1D&D remove

Snarf: Reynard, your mission is to proceed to Renton, Washington. Pick up Jeremy Crawford's tweets about the playtest, read them and learn what you can along the way. When you find the the location of the writers of D&D One, infiltrate that team by whatever means available and terminate the Bards and Elves.

Reynard: Terminate the Bards and Elves?

Snarf : The D&D One design team is out there operating without any decent restraint, totally beyond the pale of any acceptable human conduct. And they are probably thinking of ways to make Bards more powerful and make more Elf subraces. Terminate the bards and the elves ... with extreme prejudice.

I want to remove DMs needing to run more than 1-3 encounters per day if they don't want to while still keeping the at-will and long-rest-recovery classes balanced against each other.

That's a weird way to spell "gnomes."
