      bounded accuracy still confuses me
      4e is being prematurely burried like a character out of Poe for the unforgivable crimeof 'not being D&D' enough yet every version of D&D has always had attacks get better with level.
      how does bounded accuracy not make Next even more "not D&D" than 4e?

      I think part of the reason you are confused is because you perhaps think bounded accuracy means that attacks rolls do NOT improve with levels. They do. Just much slower. This is actually a lesson learned FROM 4E, not a regression. This is moving the ball forward into a better game (hopefully). The problem with 4E (as some saw it, and this apparently includes the 5E designers) was that the numbers scaled up too fast. This made for very high numbers as you went up in levels. It made mental math...

      Another good idea; why limit (true) Gorgon/Medusa/Maedar to only humans when you can curse other races too by adding it as a template.

      I don't understand why people relate using a grid & miniatures to having deep and fulfilling combat. In my experience, people who play with miniatures are more prone to metagaming during combat - and that is definitely NOT fun nor fulfilling for me. Not using a grid invokes more creative actions I think, but using a grid doesn't prohibit you from doing anything (if it does, you've got the wrong DM!)

      I agree with ruttentud & find TotM combats much more fulfilling than tactical grid battles ... when the battle occurs entirely in your imagination, it isn't restricted by the position of miniatures on the playing field.
      So, when Seti says (a page back) that "theatre of the mind can work, if the group doesn't want complex, fulfilling combat encounters" he is clearly seeing things differently than I do (and being a little demeaning, as well).
      While miniature combat can be complex in...

      This approach is the core of a good RPG, guidelines and QuickStart rules but a solid framework for customisation. It is what I have almost always done to every RPG that tried to be too prescriptive.

      Couple more ideas for you–Barrister, Demagogue, Magical Duelist (please make counterspell work), Mighty Caster, Persistent Caster (saves, eschew components, spell resistance), Versatile Caster (and this is the one who messes with distance, area and duration).
