[QUOTE="gametaku, post: 8750062, member: 66066"] Ability Scores and Ability Modifiers being different. Supposedly this is confusing to new players. Instead, it should only be the ability modifier. Point Buy and Standard Array can be modified, and for rolling the dice options could be 1d8-4, 2d4 - 4, or 1d6 - 2 depending on the range of scores desired. Races - it's long past time this happened. Maybe for compatibility have a note that old races could be used instead of whatever new option replaces them. Hit Points - To many players and DM's think they represent purely physical damage. Also, from various post characters are supposed to be killed and run away and that because less likely to happen as hit points are increased. Players - Really how many problems are caused by players existing. Whether it's what they do or how the DM's interacts with the players, or WOTC putting out content players want to use. Eliminating players fixes the vast majority of the issues D&D has. And any it doesn't fix the DM can just create a new rule and not worry about the players would react. [/QUOTE]
