When 5E D&D was announced and the D&D next playtest became available my group jumped on it. We've played our fair share or it. We really enjoy the underlining system, there is a great deal of what we like. It was even the first game that I got a chance to be a player in a very long time.
But there has always been something about 5E that doesn't sit right with me.
The first three levels of 5E, along with character creation are so unimpressive. Much like character creation are very uninspiring. Besides a few minor choices all characters look pretty much the same, any two characters of the same class have very little that distinguishes them. Sure they may have different a racial ability and different backgrounds, a few skills and possibly a feat different. but by and large characters of the same class feel pretty much the same for the first three levels of play. so much so that it has actually been recommended that players start at level three or four, even hinted at by the designers of the game.
As has been pointed out many times, most D&D games do not make it past 12 level. I would say in our groups experience this is true. And I will admit to my personal bias to enjoying lower level play. While I run my 13th Age game I plan to do some changes to 5E, make the game I plan to run when/if (and I'm sure we will) my group does jump back to play 5E D&D.
One of my ideas is to condense all the fifth edition down to only 10 levels, but that is a different blog post.
There are two unearthed arcana articles, that are critical to my new design choice. One is the release of the racial feats. The other is skill feats.
All characters at level one get a general feat. All characters at level one get a racial feat. All characters at level one get a skill feat that makes sense to either their racial heritage or their background.
That's it. I believe this is enough to add a greater degree of character customization. Making beginning characters more interesting and unique. It does add a small amount of power to the characters, but not much in my opinion.
As always, comments and criticisms welcome.
You should see how my partner Wesley Virgin's story starts in this SHOCKING AND CONTROVERSIAL VIDEO.
ReplyDeleteYou see, Wesley was in the army-and shortly after leaving-he unveiled hidden, "self mind control" secrets that the CIA and others used to get anything they want.
As it turns out, these are the same secrets tons of celebrities (especially those who "come out of nothing") and elite business people used to become wealthy and successful.
You probably know that you utilize only 10% of your brain.
Really, that's because the majority of your brain's power is UNCONSCIOUS.
Maybe this thought has even taken place IN YOUR very own mind... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's mind seven years back, while riding an unlicensed, beat-up garbage bucket of a car with a suspended driver's license and $3.20 in his pocket.
"I'm very frustrated with going through life check to check! Why can't I turn myself successful?"
You've been a part of those those thoughts, ain't it so?
Your success story is going to start. Go and take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
