KLangleySeattle: Because this thread has no business in the CharOp forums. If someone wants "input from the people who have the right system mastery to make sure horrible math errors aren't made in 5e" they can make a post soliciting advice and directing people here to another thread in the proper forum or to converse via PMs. I can also tell you from personal experience that WotC does not listen to people who have enough sense to figure out that L+12 scales at a different rate than 1/2L +(L+4)/5 +L/7 +4 or that +3/1d8 weapons are entirely better than +2/1d10 in the majority of cases. They want to hear ideas and concepts, and how interesting things are put together. They do not care about making sure Attack vs Defense or Damage vs HP are remotely similar equations. We do, specifically, as in that's pretty much all we care about here when it comes to balance, is something above or below the line, by how much, and at what levels. Why are you discussing a bad system that isn't out yet and has its own forum...

Armisael, I get that you don't want to waste any time on 5e. Why, then, are you willing to waste so much time threadcrapping someone who does want to work on an idea for it? Does it really offend you that someone, somewhere, might be interested in something you're not?
For the record, my playtesting so far has given me almost nothing to like about 5e... but I'm OK with the concept that not everyone agrees with me, and I'm still curious about what they will end up with.
If any discussion of 5e/Next sends you into a frothing rage, there is an easy solution: Don't read threads that have that in their title. You'll feel better, and you won't look like such a jerk.
Because I'd rather see him use his energies constructively. And on a selfish note, because I'd like those energies to go into helping me make a good system. As it turns out, your attention is neither necessary nor is it wanted, because I have pretty good reasons to tell people to stop wasting time on 5e. 
I would be interested in helping you out...just message me on the forums.

I'm currently working on the simplest, least interlocked part of it all, the skill system replacement. As soon as I have it ready to show, I'll send you a PM (same for anyone else who shows interest, either here or through PMs). Until then, please hang tight. You will not be disappointed (though if you are, please let me know about your complaints vocally and in great detail; I need every last ounce of feedback I can get because one person is a very small amount of manpower - I have to get things right in as few drafts as possible or I will still be working on this by the time D&D Sixth Edition hits).
Mountain Cleave Rule: You can have any sort of fun, including broken, silly fun, so long as I get to have that fun too (e. g., if you can warp reality with your spells, I can cleave mountains with my blade).

just have the Attack Bonus equal = floor(STAT-10)/2 and the Damage Bonus = floor (STAT-9)/2
Odd. Why not just use ceil()?
