Look - if you don't like the way Attack Actions work in D&D, then by all means go and play. You don't need to justify it by coming up with some odd reason concerning Conan's golf bag of weapons and DPR optimisers. Just rewrite the rules you want to and playtest to your hearts content, or at least be brazen about your intentions in the first place.
Thank you [MENTION=6689191]Hillsy7[/MENTION], I had not realized until you pointed it out to me that what I have actually been missing for the last 4 decades of house-ruling this game was your permission to do so. /sarcasm
Let me help you understand the purpose of this thread.
- I read something about another game's mechanics that could be an interesting house rule for 5e
- I posted this thread to get constructive feedback from other players, perhaps even players that were familiar with the system that I had read about.
At no point did I attack D&D or YOUR One True Way of playing it. How much more "brazen" can I be than openly broaching a subject on this forum and asking for constructive feedback? There was no subtle intent to "justify" why this option should become your New True Way.
You have made it clear that you do not like this idea. It is so noted. If you choose to help me explore this idea and see what comes of it, then that is awesome. If your only purpose is to "win" an internet debate by proving me wrong, then I concede. You have "won". Please let me and others carry on discussing this idea in the shadow of your glory. Thank you. I am sincerely humbled.
