D&D 5E (2024) This Feels Like 4E

[Neonchameleon]

So you're saying D&D should work to exclude players like that??

Not to exclude them. Just to empower the DM to apply the rolled up newspaper. But this is where the "rules as user interface" and "rules as physics engine" people are on different sides; weapon juggling is as much an obvious exploit as the bag of rats or the peasant railgun.

Just to empower the DM to apply the rolled up newspaper.

You can’t empower a DM into a good leader with rules. That’s a combination of aptitude and practice. Advice, and a willingness to listen, help though.
