The system works for me and my group, and thousands of other groups. Lots of people like attrition play and don't want to see it reworked. Your perspective isn't universal.

Exactly. D&D has always been designed for attrition-based play and 5e is no different.

I have played 6+ encounter/day games in both 5e and other editions of d&d (B/X, Pf1). Just because that's not how you play doesn't mean nobody does.

GM fiat is good actually

Really don't like the idea of divine intervention being a "daily power" to get an extra free spell cast.

old enough to know better and old enough to be derided for his bigotry.

All the ancestries in 2024 are going to bassically just be colorful humans so it doesn't really matter.

I really hope that the new crafting rules don't allow players to effectively freely pick the magic items they want. There's too many magic items which break things to allow players to choose items off the complete list.

Jeremy should have kept up the position rather than caving to internet rules-lawyers less than a year into the game release. By releasing Sage Advice wotc legitimized and encouraged toxic rule-lawyers and set them up as a clear audience their products must cater to. D&D 2024 is clearly...

Crawford's approach to 5e since 2015 has been empowering rules lawyers and clinging to the exact RAW instead of encouraging common sense and table rulings or clarifying design intent. D&D2024 will double down on this approach with Crawford instead of Mearls as the primary project lead.

I'm not referring to Ad&d, I mean with 5e.

There's no such thing as an unviable character.

There's more to encounters than draining party resources and causing attrition. There's more to encounters than being tactically challenging. You can still make encounters interesting even if the party is doing less than one encounter per day.

This is chargen for cowards who are afraid of having 3 con.

The solution to standardized stat distributions is 3d6 down the line.

oneD&D is effectively a Patch for 5th ed. Sometimes, you favorite character in a patch gets nerfed. This is a good thing actually and it really doesn't matter if it makes you feel bad. The game is in a healthier spot with paladins being specifically weakened. The quality of the game is more...

Sounds like the 8 Con wizard in this scenario should play as carefully as possible. It's not a nightmare for me as the DM if someone's character gets killed.

D&D 3rd edition, specifically. Furthermore - ad&d and classic d&d becoming unavailable and supplanted by it in distribution. General focus on "character building", pushing of combat focus and encounter balance, and weakening of DM authority in favor of "the rules" and unified mechanics.
