[QUOTE="Modeus, post: 2242507, member: 11807"] For $100, I'm willing to pay for : The Mother of all Crunch books, a 500 page behemoth to end all the player's craving for more crunch so that all products in the future will fopcus on campaign fluff : - An extension to core races with optional swaps for racial abilities. Adding player favourites like Tiefling, Aasimar and War Forged into the mix. - An extension to the PhB which drills into each character class and creates pages of class substitution possibilites mapping to each core race, adding favourites Scout, Warlock into the mix. Eg. Halfling Paladins who is into piercing weapons and prefer to inspire allies than casting clerical spells. - A full Mage class built like a Psion using Mana points. - More feats keyed to each class and race to allow customization, feats which encourage more diverse character options and fill up gaps in the core syste,m. Eg. Wisdom based fighter, Sword and Shield Style, metamagic feats powered using more spell slots. - More spells to fill up gaps in system. A divination school that can be dropped for specialists ( A 1st level DOT spell anyone ? Circle of True Strike. ). Cross referencing every status ( fatigued, shaken ) into an actionable spell effect. Having scalable spells for all the old favourites. - Elaboration to the combat system to make D&D look like Squad Leader compared to Advanced Squad Leader. Called Shots, variant critical options, special damage effects keyed to weapon type ( Piercing, Bludgeoning and Slashing ) - All playtested to be balanced and fast if used in it's entirety !!! - Imagine a director's cut of what is Arcana Evolved to Arcana Unearthed but for the Phb. Who knows maybe this is already in the works. [/QUOTE]
