[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 9492402, member: 6801228"] Maybe you have them blocked? But this is the post which started this tangent. "[I]I was waxing philosophical and not thinking only of feats. 5e abandoned my playstyle and WOTC abandoned me long before that. I think a lot of DMs are sadly weak. They don't want to fool with something but they are intimidated by some subset of the players. Now there are other reasons too but that is one big one. So starting with the simplest as core and then having all subsystems as optional add ons is desirable. They will likely all chose some of the optional add ons but they can always fall back and say anything that is optional is not allowed by them. I don't have that problem. I'm too old and too curmudgeonly to tolerate bully players.[/I]" To which there was a response that said "[I]For what it's worth, I see a lot of this (and maybe it's just me, but it seems more prevalent in the 5E era, though that may be due to the increase of overall players)[/I]" I responded to that second post, which is when people, including you, started responding to me. Now, you have not ever used the "strong/weak" language yourself. But that was the origin of the conversation. That was what I was responding to initially. So I am making sure, so that people don't misinterpret, that I am keeping the origin of the conversation in mind. [/QUOTE]
