I watched that interview where Mike Mearls talked about why hide is like it is. I know it's a huge debate on how it works, but that's what it should be IMO, it should be specific to DM ruling. Other things that initially annoyed me were things like spell books and copying spells, in older edition it was a spell level per page, but in this edition there is no specific point, so I get to make it how I want it. I know I can do this in pathfinder and 3.x but having an explicit rule in a book and having to explain my way can cause friction with players and rule lawyers. So yeah, I don't want errata to fix this stuff, use errata to fix minor spelling errors and things like the warlock spell list. But the rules as they are allow ME as a DM to interpret them how I wish and I love this. The thing I think they need to make clear is that the DM should decide many of these things. I also think they need to explain that the game is a toolkit not the game itself. Again, in that interview Mike Mearls said it was more like an operating system rather than a game itself (using vernacular of computers and game consoles). If you approach the game with this intent so many things become clear, also if you come from a very freeform game like 13th age 5th edition seems to strike a great balance between rules and rulings. So that's my take on it. Anyone feel the same?Also completely unrelated (kind of) I just got the pathfinder advanced class guide and damn them for making what is now my favorite class in any game ever. Celestial Bloodrager. I'm already porting this to 5e's barbarian (with several bloodlines like demonic, draconic, fey, celestial, elemental etc). If you don't know what the bloodrager is, it's a combination of barbarians and sorcerers so when you rage your bloodline becomes apparent. In the case of celestial you rage and you become angelic. It's so damn cool. So keep a look out for that on the homebrew board. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
