[QUOTE="Chocolategravy, post: 6424909, member: 6778085"] If you want a story focused game, play a story focused system like Numenera. It has practically no PC optimization, very light party synergy optimization, and doesn't demand the system mastery that comes along with optimization, or in 5E's case, even flavor options like having to know what classes you're going to eventually take at character creation in order to meet the MC requirements. Numenera doesn't present you with a book of monsters to kill for XP, you don't even get XP for murdering people, and it doesn't require you to maximize your weapon damage or optimize your spell tacticals. It also has a HP and rest system that seems to be much closer to what people wanted from the 5E beta than what we finally got. Also, unlike 5E which only claims to have bounded accuracy, Numenera actually does. 5E is great for slaughtering hordes of monsters and optimizing for it, but if that isn't what you're looking for, then there are better tools to get the job done.
