[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 7749549, member: 48965"] So you know exactly what to do to avoid those constraints (and honestly it doesn't seem like that big of a hassle or much effort on your part) so wouldn't it be better to include it for those whose playstyles are catered to by it vs. leaving it out? This just seems again like a narrowing of playstyle as opposed to a braod or inclusive one where the specific DM determines what he does or doesn't need for his playstyle and campaign. OAN... you may not like paying for material you won't use but if the alternative is your favored edition being replaced it seems an extra $2 would be worth staving that off... I mean I don't like or use everything that's published for 5e but I'm glad its catering to a wide range of tastes (even at a small expense to me) because it will keep this edition of the game going for a longer time... IMHO of course. EDIT: Just to be clear... I'm not saying don't advocate for more of what you want in the game... but I think you have to be willing to subsidize some cost for things that don't appeal to you if you want the game as a published product with a large player base to be sustainable. I personally have no desire for a warlord, would rather see numerous things before that class in 5e but if they publish a book with a warlord in it and say 75%-99% of the book is still interesting or useful to me I'm going to buy it... and maybe the 5e version of a warlord would win me over, who knows...
