jadrax · August 05, 2014, 01:08:52 PM

This has been doing the rounds on a couple of other forums today; no idea if it is accurate but looks cool if it is.

Quotehighlights:
costs to construct building
costs for hirelings
downtime activites (most of which have a 20% chance of going to jail for 5d6 days)
domains (kingdom builder rules)
using miniatures!!!
travel hazards
diseases
poisons
madness
traps
puzzles
modifying races
creating new races
monsters as characters
modifying classes

optional rules:
training to level up
trading in magic items
flanking
attacking cover
morale
action points
called shots
alternate skill systems (13th age backgrounds are an option)
vitality
spell points
skill points
single strike (1 attack roll, cumulative damage)
second wind
rest variants
proficiency dice
massive damage
marking
facing
cleaving through the horde
automatic success
chases
cantrip slots
action points (again?)
group initiative
weapon speed
passive initiative
gestalt characters

These make me happy:

I wonder how the optional rules here will mesh with my current house rules.

Anything about additional domains for clerics (especially death), blackguards, or other character classes? Or would that just fall under "modifying classes"?

If anything else comes up I will post it here, but what I have quoted is all I have seen claimed to be leaked so far.

It's definitely nowhere near a complete list based on just things Mearls has said will be in the DMG at various times. And just by what should be expected in any decent DMG trying to be a guide for a game that wants to be a toolkit by current standards.

I would be amazed and disappointed if the cleric class section did not have quite a few domains detailed.

That being said, I enjoy customizing clerics, and can't stand 'every cleric heals and turns undead' so I'll either get what I want from the rules, or customize clerics myself if need be.

This all sounds about right...

Death will be in the DMG and Black Guards. Also Kender and Warforged. I don't think any other PC classes will be there. Just NPC subclasses at best.

Solid list. I'm not particularly digging some of the systems and sub classes, but they're nothing that I find remotely deal breaking. I'm betting the DMG will give me what I want to tweak things. This list goes a long way towards that. Much smiling is happening right now. Woo

I'm all for optional material. But I'm looking more for world building options and advice.
