[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8265003, member: 93670"] Official options provide some portability and consistency. I can use whatever house rules in my personal games but if I join some other game or one of my less experienced players decides to gm I can't really point out my house rules as s suggtion because this is an area where it can get pretty involved amending all of the system's deliberate edge cases. Edit: the lengths 5e goes to in order to avoid being deadly and wotc's silence on the idea of changing anything even with optional rules is also an oppressive presence in the discussion with players that immediately puts the gm (or whoever) in a bad light for daring to bring up something wotc is clearly of the opinion is a bad style of gaming Even if I never play at someone else's table this absence has big issues for me because new players joining my game have a lot more house rules unique to my table that they might need to learn before or during their first session.
