My issues are the following:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Darkvison should go back to 3e low-light vision, darkvision (and too many things have darkvision)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Humans should work more like Rich Howard's <a href="https://www.tribality.com/2015/05/19/ultimate-adaptability-variant-humans-for-5th-edition/" target="_blank">Ultimate Adaptability</a> or better remove non-biological aspects from races and use the article as an example for environment/culture being an additional choice for all races.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Could use some more PHB races: Deva, Kobold, Goblin, Lizardfolk, Orc</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Classes should all receive their subclasses at first level</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Either stretch the 1-10 levels to 1-20 or  have PHB 1 cover levels 1-10 or 1-12 and PHB2 cover  the rest.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Tone down the spellcasters.  7th-9th were not originally meant for players (if necessary move them to an Epic level book)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Could use more classes: Alchemist (separate from the Artificer), Arcane Warrior, Scholar, Shaman, Warlord, Witch</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Berserker change Exhaustion to a fatigued/winded condition that can be removed with a short rest.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Cleric: would like to see on a warlock like chasis with much shorter general base list</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Fighter could use more subclasses, fighting styles, and maneuvers</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Monk: needs more customization and some other changes</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Ranger: The Ranger should be non-magical by default with magic  via subclasses (see AgenderArcee's Martial Ranger on reddit)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Rogues<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Thieves Cant should be a background language for Criminal and, maybe, Urchin,</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">class could use more subclasses in PHB</li> </ul></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Sorcerer: needs a general Arcane Origin for a magic family. needs own spell list</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Wizards: break the spell list down. Too many options in spell list</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Too many ways to bypass/minimize exploration in the wild</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Crticial hits should just be weapon or unarmed damage die maxed and roll a second die</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Some spells need to be reworked/releveled<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Example: True Strike should just make the target's next attack a natural 20, but not a crit (taken from Mike Mearls's Book of Iron Might (Malhavoc Press) for 3e)</li> </ul></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">add downtime from Xanathar's and Tasha's</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">add Companion /Sidekick rules</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The DMG should include:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">skill points, armor as DR,  wound/ vitality, touch AC, glancing blow as optional rules</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">More conditions needed: Bleeding, Bloodied, Dazed Fatigued/Winded, Frozen, Shakened, Slowed, Staggered, Swallowed, Weakened Ability</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">More dials/variants for death and dying (fix the whack a mole), lethality, resting</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">actual dials and guidelines for tailoring the game: low magic, sword & sorcery, gothic fantasy, romantic fantasy</li> </ul></li> </ul>Hopefully, I didn't miss anything.</blockquote>
