      Clerics were more fun in 2nd edition. They were still healers which is (to me) their main distinction, but they did not fall behind as fast on the "I can hit that" scale because feats did not exist. In trying to balance the cleric in 3rd ed. someone somwhere thought they needed to have the same amount spells per day and the same top spell level as wizards. sounds good...but that means they have to lose ground in combat. But the 1st and 2nd edition description of cleric call the class a holy...

      1. The Cleric Is a Healer:
      “This one should seem obvious, but it's worth making it clear that we assume that clerics can heal and that their abilities should reflect that. A player new to D&D who creates a cleric could focus on keeping the rest of the characters on their feet, and the mechanics would make that easy to understand and do.” - M.Mearls
      No, absolutely not. Especially not at the top of the list. A Cleric has the ability to aid his allies, including the ability to Heal...

      Gotta be paladin, you get it all - spells, big armor and weapons, unique special abilities, and some really cool roleplaying hooks. Rangers are a close second, though I've never really agreed with them getting spells... I think they were at their finest in 3.5 with a lot of skill points and good fighting and stealth.
      Wizards should be awesome, and often are fun... but there's always been something lacking. I think it's that magic in stories is fantastic, and in D&D it's rather mundane....

      I like Warlord and Bard. Perhaps more so Bard although I never cared for the whole "musician/dancer" theme that is forced to accompany their basic skills and role. I enjoy having lots of skill options and in battle primarily strengthening my allies.
      In fact, I would like it very much if there was a class that really strengthened the concept of giving your allies bonuses and maybe even getting to choose which bonuses to give which allies at which time while outside of battle primarily...

      Totally agree w/Katalia369. Make it an option. It should -not- be automatic, and it should not be impossible or discouraged. It depends on what the group decides they want from the experience, and the D&D experience, IMVHO, isn't necessarily about magically attracting followers and receiving permission to build a stronghold at a set level -although if a player wants to hire people, or commission some kind of HQ, well, that should be possible and yeah, there should be rules somewhere for it,...

      Personally I like to run (I am almost always the DM in our campaigns) sandbox games. In other words, no set adventures, just engaging characters in a detailed world and I let my players decide what direction they want to take their characters. This means that I would like to have this option as my players tend to go for "conquering the world" type of ambition. For that you need armies, castles, followers, etc (I used a HEAVILY modified version of Birthright rules to do this, but I truly miss a...

      The mechanics and the story/flavor should be deeply connected. To say, for example, that "Dwarves are excellent craftsman, especially when working with stone or metal" can only be true if they are actually good at it.
      If humans, elves, and even orcs are every bit as good at crafting (mechanically) as a Dwarf is, then it would be false to say that Dwarves are better at it. If, on the other hand, Dwarves are supposed to be better at it, then make them actually better at it.
      I mean,...

      I am on board with the idea of a neutral option. I think that having flavor represented in the rules - like the dwarven Stonecunning racial trait - is a cool feature. As for weapon-favoring and favored enemies, I'd be okay with having tohe option of bypassing these. What if my gnome was orphaned and raised in a monastery far from the ongoing mutual disdain between his kin and kobold. What it my dwarf was raised in a city and joined the city guard, favoring a broadsword? If he runs across his...
