It would be hard to vote as we do not know what will be the impact of the 1st choice and rest are still to happen(hopefully not) and in what aspect will the rest happen?

I'm sure that blacksmithing assistants were also pissed when power hammers came out on market.

Worse than EA?

agree, probably not. As I said, some spells need to be removed or reduced in power. more like it was WotC that repeatedly claimed that new players are too stupid to understand anything more than rolling a d20. Sure, they said it more politely: "they do not want to overwhelm new players with...

well, guess if you make a caster a class, you should balance it with a non caster, what a shock. maybe add battlemaster features to all martials at a different pace(similar to A5E) so that will compensate for power difference. or just remove most hard crowd control spells from the game, damage...

we had simple solution back in the days for bad and really bad feats. Really bad feats: you could take 3 of those for a single feat slot bad feats: 2 for 1 slot rest: 1 for 1 as normal.

if you turn subclass features into feats, assumption is made that the features will be rebalanced to value of full feats or half feats. and that classes will balanced around those extra 4 or 5 feat slots.

heh, Leadership is like nuclear weapons, either all got that feat, or we agree that none will take it. Luckily we all liked PHB2 version of druid that explicitly prohibits use of Natural spell feat. and honestly, I think that to date, it's the best version of Wild shape in any edition.

What is the difference between having a subclass feature at level 10 and having a feat that has level 10 requirement? maybe even a class requirement if the feature is keyed of some base class ability.

cleric was a powerhouse, luckily, most people found it boring or played them as a healbot, so in most instances it didn't break much. Most usages for cleric I was was a 1 level dip for domains and devotion feats powered by turn undead. but probably worse was wizard+incantatrix+persistent...

easiest rule for DMs was: everything is allowed, but I keep the power to ban/change something if I see that it is breaking the game.

How? There can always be build suggestions in PHB on what feat to take at certain level for one archetype per class. and how it more helps casters than martials?

the bloat sure can be reduced to "core books" PHB 1&2 Player Guide to Faerun/Eberron "Complete X" books. maybe add: Bo9S Unearthed arcana. just ignore everything else.

this. either all are on Short rest or all are on Long rest counter. when you have a spread of 0 to 5 short rests per Long rest, depending on campaign and/or DM, there is a huge imbalance between classes.
