D&D 5E (2024) Is 5E better because of Crawford and Perkins leaving?

[Charlaquin]

I would say that it allows you to pick your spot, then change it (by a bit) after you see where everyone else is situated, including visible enemies, without anyone complaining. It's not great but it's not too bad.

Fair enough.

'
bonuses and the way feats work are mechanics.

if using a d10 instead of a d8 or adding a + to something is a mechanic, then everything is a mechanic. In that case, yeah so what, tweak the mechanics to achieve balance. Balance is more important than some unsocialized jerks being able to feel superior because they could bully others into taking inferior options

Yes, but that’s by definition no longer a stealth errata. It’s just errata.

Okay, maybe you’re missing my original sarcastic point. When I said “announce it”, I meant they could have a marketing campaign at every printing telling everyone to go get their updated copy of the Player’s Handbook. It was a joke.

It’s errata. Errata makes its way into subsequent printings of the books and has for decades. There is no big deal made about it.

Right, errata is fine. Good, even. Stealth errata is not.

I don’t even know what stealth errata is.

I don’t even know what stealth errata is.

It's errata that is changed in materials without notice
