[QUOTE="Willie the Duck, post: 8749512, member: 6799660"] Okay. Excised is a rough one. [LIST] [*]I can see taking various races I don't like and moving them from the PHB to secondary material [*]I actively advocate that the upper tiers should be removed from the main game and possibly split into 2+ versions (one for people that want to play magicless martials all the way through alongside casters with matching power levels; another for people who want [I]wish [/I]and [I]simulacrum [/I]and s[I]hapechange [/I]alongside fighters who wrestle death into submission or who lop-off and throw mountaintops at their enemies) [*]I think Multiclassing rules (alongside being redesigned) need to get thrown into the DMG, after the other (more important) optional rules like alternate combat actions and gritty rest variants and the like. [*]I want XP-for-combat to be included only alongside equally developed rules for xp-for-treasure-found and xp-for-goal-progress and xp-for-character-arcs-fulfilled or the like. [*]I would like some of the basic worldbuilding/implied setting of D&D made more optional (not just the FR default they've been doing, I mean things like 'you don't have to have elemental planes or the Astral in your game. The afterlife might be a place you can walk to. Make your world your own' kind of advice). [*]I would like any number of trap options ([I]True Strike[/I] and [I]Witch Bolt[/I], Berserker Barbarians) and optimal options ([I]simulacrum [/I]and [I]force cage[/I], crossbow expert/PAM, multiclassing your way through the charisma classes) rebalanced such that there weren't clear and away winners or losers. [/LIST] Still, I can't think of many things I want truly excised. Ooh! Studded leather, hide, and ring mail! Maybe 'half-plate' too (although maybe this just gets reframed as one of the many types that came about before full harness. There are lovely armors not included in the game like gambesons, buff coats, linothorax, and all those other lovely intermediate armors with plates like coat of plate, jack of plate, brigandine, and so on.
