[QUOTE="Emberashh, post: 9152458, member: 7040941"] I suppose we shouldn't be surprised this is how they're designing given how they tried to balance druids by sticking squirrels at 11th level iirc. Suffice it to say though that this system of theirs isn't going to work out. Its yet another system that exists in isolation from the actual game and many will try to make it work, and they'll either get by by ignoring its problems or they'll homebrew and houserule it to death, and most others will come to realize its the same fundamental problem Exploration has in 5e. Its there, but it isn't actually a part of the game, and engaging with it will always be a process of stepping out of the game without extensive homebrew or simply ignoring the dissonance. Not to mention as well that they're positioning this as being in the DMG, which means none of this is actually player facing, which is even more damning evidence of the design not being integrated than what is self evident in the design.
