If you deform the system to your ends, you should be able to deform the Encounter system the same way.Once more, it is supposed to be a simple streamlined system, and that is what made its success. And to stay that way, no system can try and cater for all the variations that people might introduce in it.But you know what, why don't you try designing something of the kind and let us judge what you did and whether it suits us...It does not need to. The system is generic and simple enough, just apply the basic principle.No, you don't. Please show us where in the published modules there are a lot of magic items.No, it does not. The game does not need +1 weapons or armor, and there are very few of them in the modules, actually.And again, please design a simple system yourself where it takes into account the precise difference between Great Weapon Master and Linguist. Exhaustive, if you please, and with differences whether these are taken by a bard or paladin, and taking into account the differences of stats, of course, all the combinations of them.And honestly, I totally dropped it in 3e after a few levels because it was even more variable than 5e, especially between casual and built characters. And the same with the NPCs./Monsters.4e is different because it is so much controlled, so yes, it was more accurate, but at the cost of openness.As for 5e, it is incredibly open, and streamlined, but it has consequences. If you choose to use it, deal with it.</blockquote>
