[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9593812, member: 7006"] Although to be fair... I would suspect that this quite possibly would cover more than half of all tables playing the game out there. Those of us on boards such as this really are such a small subset of the game, but yet we constantly think that our playstyles are more prominent than they probably actually are. The designers of 5E set the foundation of the game at the most baseline level, as that is what most tables (especially tables of new players coming to the game for the first time) are going to experience. So everything is designed with the merely basics of gameplay in mind. With the understanding that folks such as us here on EN World would have the experience and knowledge of Dungeons & Dragons on the whole to understand that the foundation is just a baseline level and that we'd be able to adjust things [I]on our own[/I] to what we all personally would need. So rather than WotC trying to figure out some way or some system that could account for and hit upon the thousands upon tens of thousands of different ways experienced players like us play the game in all its goofy-ass configurations... they just leave it to all of us to take the foundation and crank up those 10 thousands different parts that we need for ourselves by ourselves. Because we are the best ones to know what it is we actually need, rather than WotC just trying to guess. [/QUOTE]
