My point is simply that you can’t get everything in a stat block. And for Lair actions, seems to me you lose a lot by trying to squeeze them in there. There were so much more flavorful and interesting in 2014 compared to what we are seeing now. Particularly for something that’s not needed in...

So you think all the spells that it has to be described completely as well too?

Sure, could you give one example of potentially many. My point is simply dragon has other options and just doing damage.

Maybe, but it’s not like it’s other two reactions are warm fuzzies!

So said 20 hours of video watching and then more than that of reading about it. That implies 20 hrs video plus 20+ hours of reading, or more than 40 hours. I am guessing from this response you didn’t mean you have spent over 20 hours reading about the new PHB, but that was how I understood your...

Not IME, but I’ve learned that people play the game in many different ways so I am not surprised when someone has a different one.

That’s fantastic, play a game that works for you. I’m a player not a DM, but as I live with my DM I can assure you he doesn’t spend a lot of time prepping our games! Regardless, I don’t believe the number of combats per day was the issue for you, but I could be wrong. I can only be sure that...

Fortunately the game works great even if you don’t play by those “assumptions.” I mean. We average something like 2-3 combat encounters in a combat heavy session, but the game works with 0 combats up to at least 10 (which was the max we ever reached before a long rest). I mean not liking the...

I’ve listened to both Treantmonk and slyflurish’s initial reviews and came across thinking they were both generally positive. I think it is likely we bring our own bias into how we interpret these. Also 20 hours of video and more reading in the past 2 days - do you sleep?! No wonder you have a...

Really. That is interesting, we find 5e combat pretty fast. We get through most combats in less than 10 minutes. Trivial ones we can blast through in about 5 minutes.

Is not entirely false. There is a trade-off. More actions require more space more space requires a different layout, which requires more time and more time requires more money. Nothing is free.

It is not a house rule to change the alignment of a monster, it is right there in the MM to do so.

In the 2014 MM it was explained that all alignments are subject to change. The list ones are just “typical”

No, because onednd is not a thing

Is it a profession? For some it is, but not for all. I think my statement and the statement originally quoted stand. I do not think an influencer is necessarily a profession. Again, I think some of them would like it to be. It is also, in my opinion, the question of how one is earning from the...

No. Everyone is different and enjoys different things. Also, people have different ideas on what a dungeon crawl is. So that may be your preference, but it is not a requirement. However, in general I agree with, it find 5e light enough to work well for us (of course I have no idea what the...

No, not necessarily. That is the hope of many influencers, but that is rarely the origin

However, many of the reviewers selected have a demon critical of WotC in the past, so how does your theory apply here?

The reviewers we know of have not been paid by WotC.

We are not talking about real history here. We are talking about middle earth and a fantasy Neolithic the OP wants.
