Read this and I am not a big follower of D&D news (Ol timer lol my prime has passed). But reading the possible changes to classes, half/races, feats, spells, backgrounds, etc…

I am not sure how I feel. In this CRPG (BG3), I think some would be great. For example setting stat bonuses with class and not race and getting a feat with your background is good, but the rest… I dunno. My Orc/Hafling hybrid my beg to differ…

I dunno… 🤷🏻‍♂️

Not sure if you were involved in this thread last year, but just posting the link in case you’re interested in some of the previous discussion. I have no idea how much is still relevant, though, as I don’t know if stuff has been changing in response to feedback. Not being a TT player I’ve not been following closely.

It's divisive.

Plenty of us aren't interested in the new edition nor the direction WotC's being heading for some time now. They'll plow ahead and no doubt have some success, but it feels like the dark days of 4E all over again.

I wasn’t, thanks for the link! I may necro it

Make sure to bring up race and alignment

I saved all the playtest pdfs and can post text in a spoiler if you're unable to access the documents yourself.

My only comment is that "OneDND" is the most soulless marketing rebrand I think I've ever seen. Just call it Dungeons & Dragons. WotC owns the name.

I was so excited for it, but after the first release about character creation, I just lost all interest. No more half elf or half orc. You just blend whatever race you want, but there is no uniqueness to any of it. A half elf is now either an elf with human skin or a human with elf skin. Same with a half dwarf mixed with a gnome. Gnome with dwarf skin or vice versa.

And they ruined Crits and so forth. I'm like no. I'll stick with 5e thanks.
