Yes. We are going to do it. I've been posting on DEM's twitter account some of our ideas going forward with D&D Next.  It's just brainstorming at the moment, but like WOTC, I want to share these ideas and see if any of them stick.  If WOTC ends up using them (or something similar), then we'll know we're on the right track. twitter.com/DiasExMachina --Perhaps our narros (dwarves) or damaskans (elves) can treat specific two-handed weapons as finesse. --I would like to bring back move "actions" even if WOTC doesn't.  Perhaps a PC can initiate an attack action instead of moving on his turn.  This would not be considered an action, and may have limitation with power. --I am sure there will be some specialty or class ability which scales up expertise die (1d4>1d6>1d8). --Amethyst totems will be associated with specific wizardry traditions (EG:  Book with Academic, Battle Magic with weapons).  We may even create new ones. --Limshau would be a background, but Custodian and Librarian would be specialties.  --I had this neat idea for an ability where if you don't expend any expertise die, you gain +1 expertise die next turn.  This would be cumulative to +4, but when you finally use it, you have to use all of them in one turn or lose all the new dice acquired. --Races will still be original in Amethyst (narros, damaskan) but regional differences will be introduced (Damasian and Limshau damaskans, Fargon and Finer narros). --We may still offer variable racial attributes in Amethyst.  Limshau damaskans offer +1 to Int or Dex; Damasian damaskan offer +1 Wis or +1 Dex. --Limshau Custodians can treat all limshau weapons as finesse.  --Perhaps the new Amethyst Marshal will be able to offer his expertise die to allies.  Further, perhaps he can improve their die (1d4>1d6>1d8), or generate an aura where allies gain +1 expertise die.  I am sure many others have thought of these as well.  I like where these rules are going and hope Amethyst can be part of the NEXT family.
