[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7519013, member: 6919838"] Oh i agree without hesitation that LGs can certianly see similar frustrations where the core rules provide little support for an element they want in their campaign. Its why i chose "fuel" instead of "cause" as my word choice. For my campaign at chargen, i too am frustrated with the lack of core system for "rites and ceremonies" aka hedge magic or lay-magic aka kinds-of-acts-we-would-call-rituals-if-it-was-not-game-term. 5e does not say "this doesnt exist" and adventure after adventure involve *ahem* "rituals" often for the characters to stop. So, its there just not more than as narrative tool. So i am having to as GM do that work to bring that "to the fore" in ways that serve our mechanic and narrative needs. Its fun but its work. But both me and my,players will have a lot of fun with it and, honestly, just like we will have with gold and stuff. But i am also willing to agree that if you take my hedge magic rites and ceremonies, someone else's gold for superior armor and bribery formulas and clothes for social bonuses and somebody else's details an castle weapons' differences and likely someone else's more details on mounts and calvary focus... You end up with massive size increases in core books. [/QUOTE]
