Frankly, it is annoying and insulting. Thank you.Anyway...For the last time, this is not about trust. Trust is not the issue and never is.The DM isn't saying "just trust me...", the DM is saying "I don't want this as it was written as it is not good for the game I want to run." The DM does have that enormous power--they can veto anything they want for any reason.If you don't like that, find a DM who IS willing to allow power creep and happy to do it.And honestly, "the few tools actually afforded to them"??? Really? The players have tons of tools at their disposal-- I mean look at all the features 5E has and keeps throwing more onto the pile. If as a DM, I find some of the new tools unfit for my game, I don't see any issue with either discussing a possible nerf or just outright banning it if the concept is unsound IMO.Finally, yes, I refer to it as MY GAME when I am the DM. I set the rules, and when others DM they do. DMs typically put in a lot more time and effort in the game compared to players. I will listen to reason, discuss and debate, but ultimately the power in MY game is MINE. I respect that other DMs have that power in their games when I join them. So, please do not bother engaging me about "but D&D in 5E is the group's game, not the DM's" because I will not respond. Thank you.</blockquote>
