[QUOTE="Belen, post: 9397483, member: 1405"] I agree. This is why I said the playtest was a largely run by gamists and influencers. The vast majority of people who are going to playtest are highly engaged folks who like the rules. We are not going to get the larger number of players who just play and may not care so much about the mechanics or the ones who cannot even manage the options in base 5e. There is a reason that a lot of people play fighters. They want a less complex class. They [I]want[/I] to just swing a sword and not think too much about it. This is one reason 4e had trouble as an example. I engaged with the playtest early but did not have a group that was willing to test or even cared so I provided feedback only early tests until life became too much to continue. I am fairly concerned about how Weapon Mastery will play out as it is giving me nightmares of 3.5/PF1e/4e that it will add horrible complexity and only benefit tactical and power gamers. I already have issues with people not understanding their class and taking forever. I sped way too much time as a DM studying the classes my players choose so that I can "help" them in game.
