Message: <blockquote data-quote="lutecius" data-source="post: 5132798" data-attributes="member: 60332">I'd like 5e to be more intuitive and flexible and generally less gamist.If they keep the power system, it should be point-based, rather than per encounter or daily, especially for martial classes.Powers and marks should never require refluffing or convoluted justifications. They should make sense in game by default.ie. no more [hit target = unrelated effects] and I want immunities (or at least resistances) back when appropriate.I want hps and combat to be less abstract than in earlier editions. The bloodied condition was a nice addition, healing surges not so much.And I hope 5e picks up the ball where the 4e designers dropped it and finally implements armor as damage reduction. I also want 3e-style multiclassing back and classes to be generally less relevant (no more roles). As 4e reversed some of the changes made in 3e, I think it's entirely possible to get rid of some 4e innovations.But I doubt 5e will go this way. Implementing any of the changes I mentioned in a balanced way would probably require more work and playtesting than wotc is willing to put in. more importantly, PF was meant to be backward-compatible. new editions are notgod, no <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" />the problem is no one will agree on what the best stuff is. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
