Does anyone here really think their view is universal?
How anything I say can adversely affect the fun of others is beyond my capability to understand.
Me not agreeing is not me arguing.
Thank you. Have a happy New Year.
I'm not glossing over anything.
Once i realize that I'm not having fun i make adjustments to have fun.
I wouldn't know what an unbalanced/balanced character (or group of stats) looks like because to me playing the stats you roll IS the game. I'm ok with a a low ability score the same way that...
I agree with everyone.
Have the kind of fun you like.
Me not liking your fun doesn’t invalidate it.
My fun is not seeing any value in balance.
Someone else’s fun is the quest for balance.
And someone else’s fun is discussing/arguing about it all.
Play what you like the way you like.

If every PC is GREAT then none of them are. 🤷♂️
I believe the kids call this diversity.
I'm all for the optimizers optimizing. I'm all for the mathletes mathelizing. I'm sure in the long run...
I don't define balance at all.
If you can define it one way, and i can define it another way, and Harry over there can also define it their way...does it really mean anything at all?
Its nuanced and as such it doesn't mean what everyone thinks it means.
Just one mans view.
Balance is a myth. There i said it!!!
What % of people just make up their stats so they get what they want? And is what they want today for character X the same as what they might want tomorrow for character Y?
This all sounds more poignant in my head. I'm going to go eat lunch now.

Buy some minis...any minis. Buy some paint...any paint. Critique your outcome but don't compare it to people who have been painting for decades. Than seek out techniques that will help you get better results.
As in all things you get what you pay for so get...
To declare that something is "hard" is just another vague term used to create division.
Is DMing hard for you? Ask for help or look for tools that will make it "easier".
Is DMing easy for you? Offer to help others. There is no real reason to argue over what is or isn't hard.
The discussion...
