I can see how my particular example could come across that way, though.   You keep coming back to this, and IME it is dead wrong. People aren’t saying 5e can do heists because they are just super into 5e, and repeatedly reducing the arguments of people you disagree with to this is insulting, and frankly ludicrous.  5e can do heists just fine in part because heists do not actually require special mechanics, but can benefit from them, and 5e is very good at handling add-on systems, because it only gets nitty gritty with combat.</blockquote>
