D&D 5E What would you like to see in 5e books?

[Minigiant]

A "Martial" Book. A book for swordy, speary, and axey guys with no spells and skills talking up book space. Macey guys maybe.

• New subclasses for weapon/armor classes
  • Mundane martial subclass (duelists, gladiators)
  • Heroic martial subclasses of Classical/Medieval/Renaissance warriors around the world (Jaguar/Eagle knights, legionaires, hoplites, impi, mamluk)
  • Supernatural martial subclasses (rune knights, shadowdancers, swordmages)
• New Armors
  • Rules for other Armors of other Eras
  • Rules for other Amors found around the world
  • Rules for purely fantastical Armors
• New Weapons
  • Rules for other historic weapons
  • Rules for exotic weapons
  • Rules for fantasy and racial weapons
• Optional "Plug in" Rules for Combat
  • Rules for weapon groups
  • SPB damage rules
  • Wuxia rules
  • All the polearms for the polearm folk

I would really like a Book of Nine Swords 5e. A remaster of Weapons of Legacy would also be quite cool.

A half-Dwarf is just a Dwarf.

No, it's a gnome!

But on the more serious part.

I
Want
Greyhawk
And
Planescape!

Just this would be great!

One issue with the book format is in the UK tax on books is higher than tax on games. Amazon, by shipping from tax havens, are able to undercut high street prices. Switching to a boxed format would help high street retailers.

It's the other way around. Books are classed as educational and so are VAT-free. Put it in a box or add dice, and you add 20% tax, and potentially import duties as well.

Each country has different tax rules. I guess they don't play the same edition or they do too much house ruling.

Dark Sun and Al-Qadim

Guess I like Sand-box...

More feats, PLEASE! I'm very disappointed with the lack of feats in the PHB

I think the pattern they've had is fairly good. I'd like to see a full FR setting book, because I'm sick of the Sword Coast. Part of me would like to see a Greyhawk setting book, but I'm terrified about how badly they'd screw it up. A monster book and player book every other year is a nice balance. As much as I dislike APs, so long as they sell it's a good business model. I think 2 APs, 1 Setting, and 1 Player/Monster book a year seems about right.

I didn't know I needed this book until now.

Nothing. With the current books (and two starter sets) I can run D&D games for ever.
