So as from my intro post (found here http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?topic=15710.msg276771#new) I'm guessing my intentions are pretty clear. Well, not really.

It all started with just one little notion that something about 5e was offsetting. I maybe have mistakenly pinned it on "Lack of a Tiefling Counterpart" but really that didn't explain it all. After that, it evolved to "game is too simple and casual" to "what's this BS all doing here it doesn't make sense" to "Screw it, I'm doing the divine duty of all theorycrafters and pretty much changing everything."

I started writing and saw how radical the ideas could be. Not wanting to back down (I should have been a Barbarian instead of a Rogue; that may have fit me a bit better for this) I instead kept going, raising up how insane the ideas were until...
It changed into something that looks like WotC published as a full changelog. It looked like some massive DOTA/LOL/WoW Changelog that just got published (in my head; the entire thing isn't done yet.)

I realized what I just made, and instead of killing it, decided to show it off to the world. Hopefully I won't have to be the one to kill it.

I am also a fan of small dice stacking up together to form big numbers rather than one really big dice. I prefer Attack Stability over Attack Power, as a d100 has a chance of giving you a 1 while the least you can get from 20d4 is a 20. 20>1.

Give it a bit, the homebrew forums get slow sometimes.

May I ask what your goal was in this?  It seems unfinished.

This looks very weird.

Generally, I do believe that WoTC dropped the ball heavily with the 4th and 5th editions. So I would like to see a new and better version for d&d. I try myself, and I think others are doing the same.
Regarding what you wrote: it seems very lacking. I could only see race changes. And I also don't understand what it is you are aiming for. I'm a big fan of Top-down design, therefore I would like to know what it is that you are aiming to do.

Best of luck
