GOD RULES: Player's Guide (5e) Previews/Discussion

[Upper_Krust]

Design choices can require trade-offs. If the priority is consistency, you would make the choice one way, whereas if the priority is clarity, another.

My view is that clarity trumps consistency when explaining how a thing works. Consistency trumps clarity for a stat block but would rely on clarity in the underlying definitions or explanations.

On that basis I would recommend that you preference clarity in your detailed descriptions, meaning that you might use fractions or decimals depending on the specific circumstance.

Hey amigo - thanks for the feedback (just back from the eye clinic - all good but likely taking a good month to fully heal).

Yes I just think I will go with clarity and ease of use rather than consistency in this case.

Using 1/2 and even 1/10th is easier than decimals. But for everything else decimals seem much simpler to follow.
