So many words Defcon when all you needed to say was
"I agree some of the 5e rules make no sense and needs to be changed by most DMs"
It is okay to love 5e and point out its warts, all at the same time.
You really don't need to defend every little choice WotC made, Defcon - especially not the poorer ones. You're still allowed to think 5e is great, like I do.
Just sayin...

Why would I need to say it when you've been saying it for all of us repeatedly over and over every chance you've had for the past 3 years?
And truth be told... I don't say it simply because I understand it's
expected that I need to change things that don't work for me when I play D&D. I've been changing things in every single edition since I've started 30 years ago because that's how games become my own.
The D&D that I read in the book is not my game. I don't expect it to be. I don't complain when I read it and find it not to be. The D&D that I read in the book is *a* game. But it's not MY game. MY game occurs when I take what is in the book and adjust it, work it, flavor it, balance it, adapt it, stricken it, justify it, and re-write it so that it BECOMES my game. And as that is exactly what I expect D&D to be... why would I waste my time pointing that out to people? Because that's biggest "Well no duh!" I could possibly say.
Instead, I see what the game in the book has written and I talk about how I could adapt it, work it, flavor it, balance it, adjust it, stricken it, justify it and re-write it. But the one thing I'm not going to do is complain about it.
--unless of course we're talking the
Barkskin spell. I'll spend pages shouting how much of a piece of sh*t that spells is as written and how Crawford screwed the pooch on his Sage Advice on it.
LOL!
