My newest character uses a lance, and Beyond will only display the 5.24 stats for the weapon instead of the correct stats for the rules we are all playing with.A simple one-click way to disable the entire set of 5.24 rules when they are unwanted would resolve this problem for the majority of users.  It would make the people who have spent time complaining on the Beyond forums with no response pretty happy too.</blockquote>
