[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 9093196, member: 7635"] You're going to have to forgive me my tinfoil hat moment... 7-8 out of 10 people have resisted every proposed change that wasn't strictly addictive (like adding weapon mastery or adding cunning strike) or errata (fixing berserker or beastmaster). That is an AMAZING track record. You'd have thought at least one of those larger redesigns would have been popular. But no. People preferred the old subclass progression. The old spell lists. The old wild shape. The old pact magic. The old level 20 capstone. The old bardic inspiration. The old paladin smite. Etc. Etc. That is a tremendous win ratio for the 2014 PHB. Or maybe (adjusts hat) WotC is being selective with the results because the mandate changed from "make a new iteration of 5e" to "reprint 5e with some Errata and goodies". The design focus changed. Innovation gave way to selective editing. Remodelling the living room became rearranging the furniture and adding a new lamp. I dunno. It just seems odd that the D&D community had no stomach for change... [/QUOTE]
