[QUOTE="Zuranthium, post: 9449598, member: 7046627"] What a productive weekend! I saw a bunch of you out there canvassing on social media. The movement to move away from D&D and not buy D&D 2024 is growing. Great job! You're trying to argue that 6 attributes is the best way to design a game, without giving any reason - basically just to act like D&D does it best. If you follow your own logic, then D&D only having 6 is heavily flawed, and instead should have 20 different stats. Stamina, Concentration, Constitution are all different things. Agility, Dexterity, Speed are different. Upper Body and Lower Body Strength are different. Willpower, Beauty, Charisma are different. There are different types of Intellect and Wisdom. "Private Parts" size - some would say the most important stat of all. What does "constitution" really, truly add to the game? How does it make sense that this attribute covers completely different things like poison resistance, ability to hold your breath, ability to survive without eating, and concentration? The answer is, unless you have a ton of attributes, they will very often not hold up to scrutiny. But a great game doesn't need to be so pedantic, and there are other ways to express character traits to begin with - such as giving characters more feats, which they can use to gain extra health or resists or concentration, thus expressing the "constitution" they want to have. This is not accurate. Each caster has different mechanics, much more than what D&D provides. And what imbalance? That statement is not the reality of how playtests have gone. You're also completely ignoring how there is more development to come, and this game actually cares deeply about both balance and flavor, and has the capability to constantly refine itself and directly include our feedback, unlike current D&D. Yes, many games are. Down with D&D 5E!! Say NO to 2024! The dungeon is rancid and the dragon is plastic! Vote for REALNESS this year! Change starts here, make the world better for your children!
