I am glad there is a return to the ideal of narrative immersion (5e). For players who prefer gridplay, this can now be done in a modular way as a setting (5e 2024) that has dedicated grid rules that are true for the setting.I love the flavor of psionics (0e-1e), the power of an individuals soul (consciousness, mind, selfexpression), and am delighted the psionic flavor returns to the core rules (5e 2014 MM) as player options (5e 2024 PH).I care about customization and need all options to roughly balance with each other in order to be viable choices for players who want them. I appreciate fixing almost all of the overpowered spells (5e 2014) and the current process of beefing up the underpowered spells (5e 2024).I love that mages can fight with pure magic cantrips (4e-5e), rather than with pitiful wrongly-flavored weapons (1e-3e).</blockquote>
