There are still inconsistencies and unclear passages. People asked about them over and over again, always given the same response where the reps appeared weirdly proud over writing unclear and ambiguous rules <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />Pro-Tip: Leaving rules unclear or ambiguous is never the great idea you think it is.The writers have repeatedly made the grave error of conflating two things:  an unclear or vague rule... with a rule that allows for personal interpretation. While the latter is perfectly acceptable (sometimes actively welcomed) the former is just plain bad rules writing. The rules may well decide to leave things up to the GM, but when they do, this absolutely must be clearly communicated.TL; DR: tell the reader where and when the rules leave something up to the DM.</blockquote>
