[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 9275717, member: 63508"] It's the rules and lore being created separately but pretending they aren't. The mismatch of D&D is that it's Game A's lore and Game B's rules. Traditionally when the official or major unofficial designers attempt to make the rules and lore match, a large section of the community grumble loudly because of the unexpected consequences. A D&D with Game A's lore and rules or Game B's lore and rules is always first treated and reacted as A/B. Edit Continuation: It requires the will or desire to match the lore and rules or the belief that the mismatch is worth addressing for the slots to connect. Like with HP, there could have been 5 different HP restoring spells, one for each element of HP. Or the spell could have being made generic and have casters roleplay what they restored. Or you could just pick better names. Or just come to a gentleman's agreement. But still all takes the will, desire, or belief that the mismatch exists and should be fixed. [/QUOTE]
