[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 9482584, member: 93670"] Yea the failure to include optional rules that provide replacements for some or all of the more odious elements on 2014PHB pg197(death/dying death saves null damage beyond zero etc) creating [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/does-%E2%80%9Cwhack-a-mole%E2%80%9D-healing-really-happen-in-games.677252/post-8157047']yoyo/wackamole healing[/URL] was one of the biggest oversights in 5e in the way that omission pointed a spotlight & "It's [I]that[/I] GM's fault bob died" at any GM who changes it via houserule before a PC bite it. One of the playtest packets had a replacement but it quickly got dropped from future packets & there's been no indication of the 2024DMG carrying it or any other variant rules yet :( Had it been in the DMG a GM could just say "we are using it because that's the style game I'm going to run" or whatever rather than needing to start by proving that said style shift is even valid as anything other than evidence of abusive killergm. Players would need to argue for a different style rather than standing on "wotc did polls to find out what was fun & they dropped this kinda thing for a reason, [you can't prove it's [I]capable[/I] of being fun to anyone]" [/QUOTE]
