Making an Intelligence check here, are you referring to the Skill Specialties in Level Up here? 5e certainly could use them.
D&D (2024) Ranger 2024 is a bigger joke than Ranger 2014:
- Thread starter Horwath
- Start date
The problem are
- A large chunk of the community wont read the rules for extraordinary skills. They barely read the spell rules and DMG rules.
- The rules would have to be clear and well written. Thus thick. Creating more of (1).
If you drop concentration on your favored foe, hit it again and mark it again it is not the first time you hit it either.
And using your bonus action for about 5 damage every round is bad too.
The difference here is I still have my bonus action so it is 1d4 and I am giving up nothing in terms of action economy.
I would rather have my bonus action available along with 1 or 2 points less damage.

All I can say to that is c'est la vie.

Many of your objections on a number of issues seem to boil down to, "most player's don't care/wouldn't bother about that". Would you call that an accurate acessment of your thoughts on these issues?

One day, I hope to actually play DnD.
eh, i wasn't so much referring to extraordinary SKILLS (though i do think they should be reintroduced) but just the general concept behind them being used for class abilities, let the rogue have an ability that lets them become invisible that isn't because of magic because they're that good at stealth sorta things,

The skill specialties are mainly what I was thinking about, yes, but many of the class features and combat maneuvers operate on the super-skill assumption as well.

It's not though. A Wizard flatly cannot decide "well I'm a master of arcana, I'm just gonna only have my highest level spell slots like those warlock fellas, why not?". Warlocks have their own system of magic, that is a mechanical reflection of it's source. To cast the same spells, yes of course, but. More than one way to skin a cat, even in 5E.
No.
It's that "For some of the community to accept it, they'd have to create one thr other ignores".
You can cast a Warlock spell with Wizard slots.
Spells all use the same rules.

You sure can! And y'know what it doesn't do? Cast at it's highest available level. Like it does when a Warlock casts it with a Warlock spell slot.
