D&D 5E (2014) A simple poll

[Vaalingrade]

After 8 years, If you don’t have house rule your game for the subject, the situation should not be that much bad!
Could wait another two years for the great revision!

Not all players are DMs and not all DMs necessarily have their players' interests at heart.

So far the poll is a good illustration of why this isn't going to be fixed by WOTC any time soon. A large plurality believes there is no issue and while a tight majority do think it needs 'fixed' in some way, they cannot agree on how.

For my personal happiness in a dream world where the folks I play with agree with me?
Or for the game at large?

I voted the former. -- I dream a 6eB with slightly nerfed casters for the lower half of the levels and a 6eX with more than slightly buffed martials for the higher half, and enough players and DMs to run it all. -- I expect no changes.

Play what you want, make the character that works for you with the rules as presented.

This is hard to do when deviating from RAW.

Given the playtest and other threads, I took it as asking how we would want WotC to change RAW.

It is even more fragmented in that "nerfing casters" and "buffing martials" is not very descriptive. When you get into how exactly to nerf or buff them you are going to run into even more disagreement between those who agree they should be nerfed/buffed.

Yeah, I took what I quoted on your post as saying you were looking for other players that agreed with you on how to deviate now and "fix" the problem currently.

Sorry if I misunderstood you.

And then we can add in needing a really high percent of people to agree in order to push for the change... (which is good if I don't like the change, but bad if I do?).

I probably shouldn't type late at night
