D&D General 5.5 and making the game easier for players and harder for DMs

[mamba]

Pathfinder 2e seems to have figured out more precise encounter building. I think it's more that 5e's design wants to have it both ways, promising balanced encounters out of the box but in reality leaving it up to DMs to actually make the system work.

it has a steeper power curve, that makes encounter building easier
