Quick Introduction
Hello everybody, I am your British DM here again introducing my way too ambitious project of creating the next true edition fixing the problems of 5e while maintaining what made it so special. This year, with the tremendous help of the community I have released a many play tests showcasing system reworks from ability score redesign to expertise overhauls.
Today, we look to the fighter class! One of the most contentious classes, with some believing it's design as the simple class to be its true form while others strongly disagree. This fighter redesign aims to fulfill the original game design philosophies set out in 5e:
1. The Fighter is the best at.... Fighting!
2. The Fighter Draws on Training and Experience, not Magic
3. The Fighter Exists in a World of Myth, Fantasy, and Legend
4. The Fighter Is Versatile
5. The Fighter Is the Toughest Character
6. A High-Level Fighter and a High-Level Wizard Are Equal
Important Notes!
Now we have already made some pretty big system changes in this project, so some changes in this class might seem odd but they will be made across the board such as the changes to hit die, ASI's & feats.
Why make such substantial changes?
If you really want to fix the problems in 5e, the changes can't just be surface level, this project is fixing the broken fundamentals that have become apparent in this games magnificent 10 year run.
The Dual Ability Score System
In quick summary; this system change is designed to allow martials to be active in roleplay just as much as their half-caster counter parts. Now each class is dual ability score dependent needing both a physical and mental ability score to calculate their proficiency. Please read the full document here to get a better idea : Body & Mind: Fixing 5e's Ability Scores(A6E)
Your six ability scores are now broken down into two categories; your Physical Attributes which include strength, dexterity and constitution, and your Mental Attributes which include intelligence, wisdom and charisma.
When a feature refers to your Physical Foci, it is referring to your highest ability score out of strength, dexterity or constitution. When a feature refers to your Mental Foci, it is referring to your highest ability score out of intelligence, wisdom and charisma.
And now your Proficiency Modifier is calculated by adding the modifiers of your physical and mental foci. Now when you would normally add a ability score + proficiency, you now instead just add your proficiency modifier.
Hit Die & HP Changes
Basically we've done a whole lot of math and found that the current HP system makes everyone a little too close in HP: A fighter only gets an extra 2 HP per level over a wizard. So now, everyone can take max hit die at every character level, or roll your hit die twice and add them both to your HP.
So the fighter isn't getting double the HP of everyone else - all classes will be based off the new HP system
The ASI & Feat Changes
ASI's now start at level 2 and repeat every other level but only increase an ASI by 1. This is mostly a quality of life rework as this equals the same total ASI bonus across the twenty levels.
Feats are now separate. No longer do you have to pick between an ASI or feat, now you get both!
Why no tier 3/4
Tier 3 and 4 will come! We want to make sure each tier is balanced, so releasing play tests in sections help focus the feedback.
Why this design?
Well, I think giving fighters a spell-like system both opens up a whole can of uniqueness for them but will also help us to balance the martial & caster disparity by getting to look at what a martial would be if it was designed like a caster.
This system most likely will not be universal, I currently have no plans to use this system with the other martials, as I would like for them to have their own unique features to interact with.
Future Fighter Goals
- Greatly expand the maneuver & exploit list
- Add more weapon specific maneuvers
- Add more subclasses (Please recommend any you wish to see!)
- Release the feat compendium
- Design tier 3/4 with design philosophy 6 in mind

Preparing and Utilizing Maneuvers
The Fighter table shows how many maneuver slots you have to use your fighter maneuvers of 1st level and higher. To use one of these maneuvers, you must expend a slot of the maneuver's level or higher. You regain all expended maneuver slots when you finish a long rest.
You prepare the list of fighter maneuver that are available for you to utilize, choosing from the fighter maneuver list. When you do so, choose a number of fighters maneuvers equal to your mental foci modifier + your fighter level (minimum of one). The maneuvers must be of a level for which you have maneuver slots.

With a Wisdom of 16, your list of prepared maneuvers can include six maneuvers of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination.

Actual 6th Edition
With OneDND set on being closer to a 5.1 than a real 6th edition, I like many within the community are frustrated by the lack of experimentation from the designers and their seeming unwillingness to fix any of the real problems the game faces. I am but a humble long time homebrewer but am willing to try and create the next great edition!
What makes this project different?
While they're are many great 5e based systems out there, there is none that seem to do what many people want, make 5e better. Not a game with some 5e elements, not a mix between 5e and another system, not a game that changes the fundamentals that made 5e so great. A game that stays in line with the great design philosophies of 5e while fixing the problems that have come apparent during its ten year run, thats what a good chunk of the community have shown me they want and I hope with my passion I can complete this task for my game and everyones.
Design Philosophy
First: Rules stay light in roleplay to not inhibit the expression of story and remain heavy in combat but never to a hindering amount.
Second: The GM is there to have fun, the rules they utilize should never hinder this, the GM should have the ability to adapt to situations knowing the rules are their to support them.
Third: This system shall remain playable for the less savvy players and those who search for depth. Where ever possible the player should have the option of complexity or simplicity.
Further info on design philosophy can be found on the discord
Community Engagement
First and foremost, this project will tackle the problems that the community as a whole agree on. Throughout the project, I will release updates and supplements to be playtested by those who would intend to use them and then use feedback provided to improve the system as a whole. There should be no surprises when this project finishes, those who engage shall already know what to expect, too many times have people been burnt by projects failing to live up to their promises. If you want to be a part, please join us on the discord or give feedback on my reddit posts.
