Essentially. Well you can have that opinion, but those spells have had components similar to that for years, so while they may sound jokey, that doesn't change the fact you were supposed to keep track of them back then... or now, if you do not have a component pouch or focus. Regardless, they...

Yeah it's almost like the term is entirely subjective and meaningless or something...

I won't show you that, because that's not what you originally stated. I will however show the text where you stated... The game being set up to do something does not equal the game saying you must do something. Anyway, even if the default was foci/pouches (which it's not. You can choose not...

You can disagree but you're wrong (as in factually incorrect). If it wasn't set up to keep track of it, then you wouldn't have the ability to purchase, store, and see how many of each type of component you have. Foci and component pouches do exist, and can be used to simplify things, but that...

Doesn't have to just be out in the wilderness. That was just one specific example. The game is set up with the assumption you do keep track of those things, as well as for expensive components. If you want to go with Easy Mode and not do so, you can, but again, to me that's boring and it does...

See that's boring to me. Part of the game is making sure to be prepared. That means remembering to actually have enough food and water to survive a journey, or the ability to find/create/teleport out if not. And part of the game's balance comes from more expensive/exotic components.

I generally try and keep it "logical". I.E. will a small village in the middle of nowhere have any single item worth 200 gp, let alone fine gems worth that much, let alone a 999 gp ruby? What kind of location keeps freshly killed humanoid blood on hand? Etc. etc. On the flip side, I also don't...

I never said you did? You're the one saying who cares. I provided reasons why someone would care and why rules are important to have, even if you choose to later change them. A process easier to do when a rule is clarified so you know how it actually operates in the first place. If a single...

So? How does that negate the need or desire to have a strong foundation that rules provide? Which is why I see on no less than three boards hundreds of posts per board discussing it. Because it's vague, obscure, and practically never-to-come up. If it had such a small impact, why are so many...

Official rulings allow a base which everyone can agree on. It allows a player to go from table A to table B with the knowledge that if the game is not modified, they can expect a certain type of play experience. Yes, there are house rules, and many people use them. But that doesn't negate the...

Actually, thinking about it further, a Hexblade 12/Battlemaster 4/Blade 4 might be even better. 4 Maneuvers per short rest, 5 Flourishes per long rest. Some Bard casting, JoAT, Action Surge, small HP bump, and perhaps most importantly- Blade Flourishes and Maneuvers stack! You can do one of...

You're right in that they're similar but to me fighter is better for the following reasons above Bard, especially as you'll be in melee more often as a Hexblade usually. 1- More HP 2- Action Surge 3- The expanded fighting style options since duelist and TWF aren't very useful for most melee...

Yeah I know but going Hexblade 11/Fighter 5/Hexblade 12/Fighter 6-8 was a bit too clunky for me.

I know you're really happy with Hexblade and College of Blades, but I think there's even more synergy with a Hexblade and a Battlemaster. Battlemaster abilities (mostly) don't require the use of bonus actions and reactions that the Hexblade loves to use for spells/class abilities, and can add...

I was going to say something similar if and when it got below 10.
