[QUOTE="howandwhy99, post: 5940703, member: 3192"] I disagree with the OP. The community needs this open space, this time during play testing for each to voice their own concerns about what should be in the game. We should value this open forum of opinion for generating new House Rules that each can bring to their own particular game as well as attempts to retrofit older iteration's rules onto 5e. I don't believe anyone is attempting to ruin the game here. It's about giving feedback for the particular mash up of all of D&D each of us likes. A plea to designers to avoid over complication (not greater complexity) and a high learning curve in the game is understandable. I don't want an overly complicated core game, which is a bear to house rule later and I don't think most others do either. However, the forums are not the people creating this game. The folks at WotC are. If anything, they're listening to the forums for later, optional add-on book modules with large audiences. (Another good reason to be vocal about your preference) But all of this really is subsequent to improving the material being play tested and the release of an accessible, fun, and easy-to-play core game.
