You think I don't talk up Level Up enough? I guess I could do more.

I could care less about 5.5. It is still a 5e game (with significant improvements IMO).

IMO because your power comes from someone else. Just like clerics and paladins. I've explained this many times. Fiction first in my game. You are free to disagree with my subjective feelings on the subject with your own subjective feelings on the subject.

In a game, maybe. Why not?

Investors and corporate culture are a problem that can and often do affect customers in a negative way, huh?

Depends on what they're working together for. I'm not interested in collaborative storytelling as the goal.

Sure, but most of it doesn't come up in any particular game. It's a book of options. I still play 5e.

To me that just seems like an excuse to ignore the patron so you can use the favored mechanics.

I play a slightly modified version of Level Up, a 5e ruleset. It hardly has zero relation.

I would say if that person doesn't level up quickly and get a lot of help, their kingdom is going to stay intact for long.

I play all my D&D and D&D-like games with a 1e/2e attitude. Narrative weight is a thing, and the rules are never more important than the fiction

And yet, again, there are combat medics in real life.

Why? That demand makes no sense to me.

I would say how important those rules are is much more based on what the table wants than how much more rules support the game gives you.

Sure, but probably under a different GM. You can't make the GM run their game against their will.

Or find a different GM who wants to pursue the coffee shop idea.

Yes, that does get tiresome.

I think I've been very clear on that point. If you are playing a Warlock in my campaign, your patron will matter, and your pact will come up in the course of play.

I don't feel that's a hard line limiting factor. I'd happily play a healer who had to actually be able to touch their patient.

Ok. In real life medics have to go to the wounded person, at risk to their own health, to help them during combat. I see no reason D&D has to be different.
