Peren sees, hears, and assuming the wind is right, smells, the goblins and fades back a little. Too many hands out there eager to fill the elf with spears, or whatever goblins opt to use. Mechanics

The sight of the goblins surprises Isan. With warhammer in hand, he's not exactly helpless, but he feels stunned to see so many enemies this close to the house. Damn them. There's an entire bloody squad of them, and I didn't hear a thing!Mentally telling himself to focus, he's a bit too slow on his feet to react with any great haste. Mechanics

Until you've had an in-law tell you your choice of game was stupid, and just Warcraft on paper, and dumbed down for dumber players who can't handle a real RPG, you haven't lived.
You haven't lived.
Lady and gentlemen.... I present to you the Edition War without Contrition, the War of the Web, the Mighty Match-up!
We're using standard edition war rules. No posts of substance. Do not read the other person's posts with comprehension. Make frequent comparison to video games, MMOs, and CCGs. Use the words "fallacy" and "straw man", incorrectly and often. Passive aggressiveness gets you extra points and asking misleading and inflammatory questions is mandatory. If you're getting tired, just declare victory and leave the thread. Wait for the buzzer... and....
One, two, three, four, I declare Edition War
Five, six, seven eight, I use the web to 
Go!
D&D should not return to the days of blindfolding the DM and players. No tips on encounter power? No mention of expected party roles? No true meaning of level due to different level charts or tiered classes? Please, let's not sacrifice clear, helpful rules guidelines in favour of catering to the delicate sensibilities of the few who have problems with the ascetics of anything other than what they are familiar with.
Just a quick note on the MMORPG as an insult comparison...
MMORPGs, raking in money by the dumptruck full. Many options, tons of fans across many audiences, massive resources allocated to development.
TTRPGs, dying product. Squeaking out an existence that relys on low cost. Fans fit primarily into a few small demographics. R&D budgets small, often rushed to market and patched after deployment.
You're not really making much of an argument when you compare something to a MMORPG and assume people think that means bad. Lets face it, they make the money, have the audience and the budget. We here on this board are fans of TTRPGs but lets not try to pretend none of us play MMORPGs.
Adding options at the system level is good.
Adding options at the table level is hard.
Removing options at the system level is bad.
Removing options at the table level is easy.
This is not complicated.
Something like Tactical Shift is more magical than martial healing.
Telling someone to move over a few feet is magical now? :|
I weep for this generation.
Given the laziness and morbid obsesity amongst D&Ders, being able to convince someone to get on their feet, do some heavy exercise, and use their words to make them be healthier must seem magical.

Rapid Shot
As an action, you can make two ranged attacks with a weapon with which you have proficiency. The damage of each of these attacks is halved.
Combat Superiority
Show
You gain a single expertise die, a d6. You can spend an expertise die to use a combat maneuver that you have mastered. A maneuver involves either rolling the die or simply expending it. You must be able to take actions to spend an expertise die. At the start of each of your turns, you regain all of your spent expertise dice.
Combat Maneuvers
Show
Deadly Strike
Show
When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can spend expertise dice to add to the attack’s damage against that creature. Roll any expertise die you spend in this way, and add its result to the damage. If the attack is a critical hit, maximize the expertise die. Parry
Show
When you are damaged by an attack while you are wielding a weapon or a shield, you can spend expertise dice to reduce the damage. Roll any expertise die you spend in this way, and subtract its result from the damage against you. If the damage drops to 0 or lower, you are still subject to any other effects of the attack. Precise Shot
Show
When you make a ranged attack against a creature that has half cover or three-quarters cover, you can spend a single expertise die. Roll the die, and add its result as a bonus to your attack roll. If the target has half cover, the maximum bonus from this die is +2. If the target has three-quarters cover, the maximum bonus from the die is +5.
