<p>I do think that players should try and keep things as similar as possible. A total re-work should just be a new PC IMO.</p>kcunning wrote:An open letter to all GMs:

A few still feel useless, like Hunter. I don't see any reason to be a Hunter over a Ranger or Druid, depending on which you liked. The Skald also seems oddly specific, but if I ever wanted to play a Viking...The Slayer still comes across as not quite powerful enough, but other than that isn't bad.
<br />
I really like the finalized versions of Shaman, Warpriest, Investigator, Bloodrager, and Brawler. They all have really sweet Archetypes, too. (I'm a big Archetype user).
<br />
The Arcanist and Swashbuckler definitely have their uses, but I prefer other classes to them. But that's mostly preference.</p>
<p>I honestly didn't see a ton of magic items I liked, but there are cool ones. There's one that allows a light weapon to pretty much function like a Hidden Blade from Assassin's Creed, except magically, so it's harder to notice. Also, a Staff that is basically a Shovel that casts Create Hole. XD</p>
<p>All in all, it's probably my favorite book since the Advanced Race Guide.</p>Well, I like a lot of them. A few still feel useless, like Hunter.

While having the chance to get an improved critical on the case of a double Nat 20, we feel like if you roll a Nat 20 on an attack, you get your critical. Especially in a hard battle where you might not be able to hit with most of your rolls, it sucks to get a Nat 20 and be denied your crit.</p>
<p>We also only allow half or better rolls on Health.</p>
<p>We also roll for ability scores, and re-roll 1's.</p>
<p>Our campaigns usually aren't too focused on whether or not we win combat. It's more about story, and having characters who can't survive basic fights kinda sucks.</p>My first DM does this, and I do too, which is that we don't confirm criticals.
