It creates such a headache due to player expectations (I hesitate to use the word entitlement, but sometimes it feels like the system makes them entitled) as they try to bend the system to where it CAN be bent, but it slows down play so much and is such a fkin headache- the sword n board wants to cast without giving up their weapon or paying the war caster feat tax, because there's some little wiggle room in there for them to maybe get what they want, and the warlock wants their two-hander while they're climbing a wall. I even encourage longswords because they can be used one-handed or two, but they want that 2d6.I do not remember this kind of crud as a player from earlier editions, 2e 3e 4e. I always took Bastard Sword proficiency feat cuz I thought it was cool (basically it was what the longsword is now). Or I'm almost 40 now and romanticizing the past and maybe I was a jerky little munchkin back then too.</blockquote>
