As long as there are previous editions of D&D, it will always be a part of D&D and consequently brought up in threads like this one.![]()
So because Comeliness and weapon attack speeds are in previous editions of D&D, they will always be a part of D&D. Okay...
It's worth noting that this poll is reaching ENWorld posters, who are overwhelmingly 40-60-year-old white guys who came in through editions where Alignment was a big deal. Even here, 20% of people aren't using it and a plurality are using it in a light/optional way. I suspect a broader poll of the actually current D&D player base (which is way younger than we are), those numbers look quite different.
