D&D 5E (2024) 2024 PHB - A much too early review

[Micah Sweet]

they will do that in the DMG from my understanding, so that space would not be used for that regardless

Since when do your players read the DMG? If it's not in the PH (and it's not a magic item) it stands a good chance of not making it into a game.

no one said they do, nor do they have to.

You can disagree with the decision to put it there, but since that decision was made, the sidebar would not otherwise have been used for that. if only they had not used that space for some compatibility guidelines
