I guess we disagree on just how optional some rules are (which is fine - disagreement is what this board is about - as long as it's civil);2. Aside from that - there is clearly room for a more robust more encompassing CR system if it can provide more accurate results - even if it's a bit more complicated. The DMG has all sorts of optional rules, why not a more robust CR system? Failing that, there is certainly room/likely demand for a 3rd party to do it. There is HUGE demand for good 5e content that adds complexity/robustness to the system. I mean <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/enworld/level-up-advanced-5th-edition-a5e/description" target="_blank">Level Up</a> does exactly that and it's already at nearly 10 fold it's funding goal after day 5!</blockquote>
