[QUOTE="HappyHubris, post: 9625292, member: 7051933"] The system is sort of stuck straddling two types of players. As the default system, it will get a lot of people who might like the heroic roleplay of TTRPGs but not enjoy memorizing rules or using math. But other people are good at juggling rules and abilities and want to have a bunch of options to manage or choose from to prevent boredom. They are also much more likely to be influencers or big spenders. In a perfect world we'd have two dominant systems like Pathfinder and something like StoneTop to sort these groups, but D&D ends up accommodating both. One option would be to ape MMORPGs and have one simple sub-class per class like the Champion Fighter to allow newbies to manage less. But that's more of a band-aid than a fix. I don't know how well WotC playtests with "bad players", but they probably are as important as "good players" to most tables. [/QUOTE]
