They said a year, and Mayne a year and a half. Since the Classes are probably what theybare primarily going to test, seems about right. They have never, wver put Monsters through UA, and theybalready appear to have those changes worked out per MotM.
Which is completely and utterly pointless.
I should clarify, my initial very negative reaction was more about how people described the new stuff than about the media itself. Rewatching the video while not freaking out, it does seem to be that they want to be able to make PCs with stuff from any point in 5e’s publication life, without any conversion.
Keep in mind, they’re presenting create-your-own-background as the default and the pre-written backgrounds as examples. They give a specific language for the same reason they grant a specific tool, and a specific feat, and specific ASIs, and specific starting equipment: because they’re for if you just want to pick a background and call it a day instead of making all those choices yourself.
Please explain how it's a strawman.
It is Ok that is how some want to play, just as the opposite is for others. I mean GoT was really popular (mundane martials)
And those of us who want martials who can actually do cool things should have the option.
It is not my way. And there are cool options, he was complaining about 4e after all! One of my favorite editions btw
I’m not saying I don’t want Common sign language to exist (which would allow deaf and hard of hearing people from across cultures to communicate). I just want other sign languages to exist so that deaf and hard of hearing people can communicate with each other within their culture without being understood by others. That’s the main use for languages in D&D anyway, right? Everyone speaks Common, so you don’t need other languages to be understood. You need them so you can speak to your in-group without being understood by folks outside of it.
