You can.Do you want to have a Diablo-like fierce hack-n-slash combat experience? You can.Do you want to play in a world that feels like a manga? Or like a novel? Or like a movie? Or like something all different? You can do all this and more.Do you want to strictly follow the ruleset or merely use itas a general suggestion? Whatever you choose!There's room for many types of players so I don't think there's even a "correct" way to play.However, I certainly play different than how I first started as a kid. Yet, somehow, I also play the same way.As a kid I loved to come up with my own version of Faerun and I tried to favor a plot over the combat. As an adult, I love to come up with my own version of Faerun and I try to favor a plot over the combat. Yet..... the end result is very different. Obviously.A side note: I think the current DnD, the 5th edition, is favoring too much what I call the "videogame approach". I feel like, compared to the old versions, now DnD is pushing more to satisfy players who min-max and want long dungeons, hitting monsters as they watch the numbers go up.</blockquote>
