oh, I would consolidate classes in general. Barbarian and Fighter get merged, Rogue and Ranger get merged, Paladin is the chassis for Cleric and Druid as well (since everyone is a half-caster), Warlock is the chassis for Wizard and Sorcerer in the same way. Any distinctions between them would be...

everyone can use a weapon today already not sure I understand this, so the fighter still can only swing swords while the others get new toys? Why would I even want that?

if I wander into this hole, it will be over (sub)classes and species, like you. My first step would be to come up with some power formula for these, so I have an idea of how powerful they can be at what level and what features would be appropriate from a balance perspective. Is there some good...

I am kinda missing what your pain points are, what you are trying to fix / what you are aiming for, or is this just an exercise for the heck of it? As far as starting with ToV, I'd do the same if I ever tried going down this path

probably true, I am not expecting a noticeable impact however

WotC is explicitly not asking for feedback on balance in the UAs, the ones failing here are their internal testers

the 1.7MB is once again the 1800x1300 sample ;)

Could they have thought about it? Maybe, they didn’t change their approach to the surveys because of that however. I am sure they did more testing, esp. since balance was not a consideration for the surveys in the first place. Do you think any of this invalidates the issues raised about their...

Ok, so it comes in three versions, no landmarks, landmarks and roads but no text, and including text. It also comes in three sizes, 48000 x 34200 which really only makes sense if you want to print it, 21600 x 15390, and 5184 x 3694 for VTT use The below is from the medium resolution

It's 48000 x 34200 , guess the 1800x1300 is a preview or something. you get both labelled and unlabeled versions

I find the choice to base them on pinball machines a bit odd. I assume you have to pay some licensing fees in exchange for getting very little plot wise that you could not come up with on your own. Are there enough fans of those to make this worthwhile?

but then you can turn anything meta into something non-meta, as has been shown a few times in the last few posts. Worst case it is fate or an intervention by the gods. So your approach wipes out any distinction between meta-currencies and other forms of resource tracking, so it feels...

not really, because in the text you never track points or can run out of them

I’d make every class a half-caster, but not use the budget for just spells so fighters can use it for ‘generic abilities’, including somewhat supernatural ones. I don’t want everything that isn’t a sword swing to narratively be a spell
