The only real way to balance all this is to a) eliminate most resource attrition between combats and b) to eliminate most character build choices or make them have nearly the same impact. (Looking very 4e). But that’s not a) realistic or b) fun. As such I’d prefer to see good advice around...

I have no idea what you’re saying here. Like I see a few facts, but no overall picture

Between research breakthroughs in more efficient computing and improved computer hardware that consumes less power that number will come down drastically over time. That’s always been the case. And we already know that doubling the number of parameters or dataset observations doesn’t get...

I find having a Druid/Cleric in the party for strong reoccurring aoe damage is strongest. (I prefer Druid for earlier 2024 moonbeam. Also stacking goodberries with leftover slots at the end of the day is still a thing.) A couple of primary controllers Bard/Wizard/Sorcerer. I’d recommend the...

Yes. There’s other strong option as well. Jump as you mentioned. Tasha laughter. I’d say shield is in the top 3 of 2024 PHB option for magic initiate wizard on a cleric. Then if you look outside the 2024 PHB there’s a few more. I would never pick bless over command. Most likely I’m picking a...

For a wizard doing magic initiate cleric, I’m never taking bless. Command, healing word or even cure wounds are much higher priorities.

Whataboutism. No one is talking about Zeno and Achilles. ;)

Please explain Then there’s this particular gem where you imply that magic initiate for Tasha’s laughter can be obtained trivially without paying a big price. Want to explain this one as well?

I like to build characters that will be strong and have a unique playstyle. There's a number of different paths for this. My first concept might be something like Single Classed Fighter, focused on being the best 1v1 swordsman. As such I'd take Dual Wielder, Defensive Duelist and Skulker...

Right, but you did argue that Magic Initiate was an S tier feat, etc. The key difference for me is the lack of concentration for command.

I'm unsure whether you are saying you didn't argue that or that you did but this specific scenario is different.

IMO. Calling a point 'whataboutism' instead of discussing why the point isn't relevant is obfuscation.

Par for course

IMO. There’s a simpler way. Use the best information you have available while always remaining a bit skeptical so you stay open to new information.

Yea we have the if possible as well, but I guess people don’t trust the police to agree with them on what was possible.

Where I live they passed that law where your supposed to change lanes for someone else being traffic stopped. What this does to traffic here is more egregious than any left lane lane camper I’ve witnessed. It’s not so much that it’s a bad idea, but making it illegal causes people to do it when...

I assume change of lights = flash their lights. If so then only if they flash their lights or tailgate you?

And if you don’t trust the NGO’s to fairly define and apply the labels? Say they define the label qualifications in such a way as to eliminate competition from their preferred businesses by tailoring the label so their preferred business can use it while placing restrictions on it so many of...

Personally I’m skeptical of external controls as well. They are typically an improvement to the wild Wild West but can also be used to corner a particular label or to relegate the label as nearly meaningless while giving it some faux credibility when such external controls exist.

I think 99% of what gets labeled whataboutism is done either unintentionally or intentionally to not engage with whatever inconsistency is obviously being called out. That said calling out inconsistency is probably the poorest form of persuasion but if the premises for the discussion aren’t...
