It just occurred to me--different worlds have different definitions of a week. In the Forgotten Realms, a week is ten days, and there are three of them per month. How's that going to work?

How about a system for creating and running your own stronghold, tower, church, thieves' guild? Maybe establish your own domain out in the wilderness?

I actually disagree with this. The DMG, Players Handbook etc. could easily say something like "here is the default that you should probably use if you are new, and here are some other ideas for alternative ways you could do things" that way new players could have a definitive to open with and veterans could have an alternative which they can revert to without having to house rule.

I think lingering wounds could be difficult to address. I would love to see something in the handbook/DMG regarding how to deal with say, broken limbs if you wanted to, but I don't know if it would be widely accepted/used. Also it would have to be something used with the discression of the DM.

Stinking cloud is a great example. Cloudkill looks like it is a bit much compared to something like Cone of Cold as well. Overlapping Meteor Swarms are awful. Wish producing wealth and magic items creates problems, especially when coupled with trap the soul. In your downtime, you create 1 25,000gp gem per day. Then, you have a virtually infinite supply with which to cast trap the soul, which allows you to save-or-die (or trap in this case) pretty much any foe with ease. Earthquake killing anyone...

Cloudkill is basically Stinking Cloud using d8s instead of d6s and upping light obscurement to heavy. The damage is practically identical unless you cast them using higher level slots, but you'll never need both in your arsenal.
Overlapping the 4 points/areas of a Meteor Swarm doesn't increase the damage at all by my reading of the spell, but it'll be interesting to see how others interpret it.
The penalties for casting one Wish per day - not being able to cast any other spells and...

Monster personalities that work with interactions outside of combat - sounds awesome! It's also a great way to help your bestiary come alive, so that the ~20 HP, ~5 damage monster on the left actually feels different than the ~20 HP, ~5 damage monster on the right.

This looks quite interesting. I'd like to see the actual rules :)
