Probably going to last a long time.Classes - I can say from first hand experience that they're so helpful to the lazy game designer that they shall go nowhere.Races - Won't be called races much longer, but so many in this sector of the industry has been working to improve them that they'll become more cemented, not less. Racial ASI will be gone soon though.Hit Points - HP will remain, but designers are going to start speaking reaaally slowly and cleeearly to make it clear what they are.Vancian Magic - Elements will hold on tenaciously until we finally kill off daily attrition as a balancing factor and that's just not going to happen sadly.XP - Already dead. There is the occasional Elvis sighting, but very very few people use it anymore.Levels - See classes. So helpful for us lazy designers.The DM - DM is Lord And Master is dying. DMs will remain, but the power dynamic had its last hurrah in early 5e.So levels and classes.</blockquote>
