D&D (2024) Dungeons and Dragons future? Ray Winninger gives a nod to Mike Shea's proposed changes.

Ok, that reads as "cash grab" to me. Thank you, I get it now.

Obligatory "Corporations exist to make money" and "Capitalism is why you have products to enjoy."

Doesn't seem relevant, theybare playing a normal game in the way I've always experienced it...? The buse miniatures more often.

I don't see how any of that is relevant. The issue was simply that maybe, being paid actors, they amp up their reactions a little as part of their performance, which you seemed to think impossible.

But, they aren't really? Their behavior is entirely consistent with what I have seen in 16 years of playing from a variety of people.

So...how exactly did you get "most people don't use feats" from that data? Because that data shows the opposite. All with the caveat that not all 5E players use D&D Beyond, of course.

Level 1-3. Only variant humans can even have feats in this level range.

Level 4-7. If feats are used, everyone gets one feat by now...and most players pick an ASI to get their ability bonuses up. But 34% of all characters have feats by this level range.

Level 8+. You have between 51-60% of all characters with feats. That's the opposite of "most players don't use feats." That's quite literally the data showing that most players actually do use feats.

Moat people aren't playing to Level 8, is what is missing here. And yes, that 1 out-of 4 Humans at Level 1 have no Feats is telling.

Ok.

I mean, yeah...? That's how we've been doing it since 3E. Booze and shennanigans.

Yeah, they’re so glaringly obviously overacting at times I can’t take them seriously.

Baffling.

What? Where do you get 1 out of 4 humans don’t have feats?
