Message: <blockquote data-quote="Quickleaf" data-source="post: 9458161" data-attributes="member: 20323">I have a very similar view, but have decided not to get the new book.Based on playtesting some of the UA, watching 3 flip-throughs of PHB, listening to insiders discuss their playtesting of the new PHB, and WotC’s press releases, my perception as a DM: There doesn’t seem to have been a DM advocate during their design work - the added rules & rules changes are going to make more headache for me as DM. Plus there are glaring issues that were not addressed at all AFAICT. I also think some of the “usability improvements” are just flat out inaccurate - eg. seems like you need to check three sections of the book to fully understand how hiding works.I’m also kind of dreading playing 5e going forward as there are lots of “blink and you’ll miss it rules changes” to conditions, hiding, influence, spellcasting, etc, etc. I can already see a new player assuming when I refer to “XYZ” that I’m referring to the “2024 XYZ” and that leading to miscommunication.</blockquote>
