Like I said. Level up Is a rewrite and thus more likely to not be allowed by DMs

Lol, I've played some of those.
Actually had a chance to finally run Freebooters on the Frontier 2e playtest (Dungeon World + OSR mashup by Jason Lutes), and the Fighter character was pretty cool. Dramatically simpler than 5e and of course LevelUp, but simple in a cool way. We'll play one more time to finish up the adventure, but it has two thumbs up from me so far - will get player feedback after we wrap up. Attached the "moves" part of the Freebooters 2e Fighter Playbook.
Also looking forward to trying White Hack - that version of the fighter gets to negotiate anytime it would deal damage and can say "instead of X damage, I want to sever the wyvern's barbed stinger so it can't use it anymore", and the GM can either accept the damage or the effect/condition proposed.

Oh. Then I can not let it slide and can see it as a purposefully mischaracterization. Good to know!
I didn't say they don't exist.
I said they typically don't meet the barrier that most DMs place to accept 3pp.

No, I know who I'm talking to and the conversations I've had. I don't only post me ideas on the 'Let's Not Disrespect the Martials' threads.
Because shockingly this is a forum discussing official D&D and I want to see official D&D do better instead of foisting their jobs on to everyone else all the time.
If Starbucks has a gaggle of fans who insist the coffee would be better if only I gave them $8 for a cup, then grew my own coffee beans, I'd still criticize them even if I did have my own plantation.
It's personal when you make inferences about people to make a point. Especially when those inferences are readily and demonstrably untrue and get a railroad going that other people hop onto to try to get their own curious licks in with.

A fighter homebrew thing? Yeah, if you're looking for feedback to help hone your design, I can try to help. If you PM me, just give me a brief description of your design intent (along with the document or link) - so many folks forget to do this, and it's super important.
Of course, I'm not your GM, so even if I say "that's wonderful!" my voice doesn't really matter except for the ego boost.

I don't see why, nor do I see any value in operating under the assumption that only WotC can provide material DMs will use.

And I said I don't buy your unshakeable belief in what is the norm for DMs, nor do I see any relevance in thinking that way.
And I said if it was so easy to print out a PDF and give it to a DM, this and other thread would not exist.
If the material exists and most DMs allow it, why does this thread exist?
