So, instead of having known spells which change at level and prepared which change after a long rest, they made all "prepared" and just...

Yes, I determine the average damage for each number needed to hit from 1 to 20, so I know all possible ACs are covered as well. I do...

But doesn't garner as much information. Yes, it would lessen the percentage increase, but the 0.5225 average damage remains constant...

1st level, so +2 proficiency. Abilities 14, 16, 18, and 20. Across all possible ACs and d20 rolls. I don't use a single AC or attack...

So basically, it comes down to how 1e rules were written so poorly* that everyone had their own house rules and/or ignored rules to make...

I'll add that many times it wasn't about having house rules or ignoring rules, but often about interpretation of the rules. While...
