[QUOTE="pointofyou, post: 8796231, member: 7037848"] Both the PHB and the DMG seem to have the same number of like-sized signatures. While I'm sure those were chosen with some thought there's no reason to think either of them is metaphorically set in stone. I agree that most people who were coming to 5e when it was new were not coming without experience. Gathering all of those people with knowledge of and affection for previous editions is why they were so careful not to exclude any reasonably common way to play D&D. They clearly wrote the DMG so people would fill in gaps with their previous experience and believe they saw support for their preferred play in the book. The problem is that people are coming to the game now with no experience of previous editions and nothing to fill in those gaps so WotC need to write the book with a different audience's different needs in mind. There are options in the DMG aplenty but opinions and actual actionable advice are hard to come by and usually buried. A good reorganization along with actual advice would be a boon. [/QUOTE]
