Just an interesting example of numerous minor barriers, and one that is just blindly accepted by the experienced user base.And yes, everything is easier when you understand the basic flow of the game. Hence all those examples of play in the front of RPG books going back to the beginning. And the various basic / introductory games...I don't see myself as a bigger wall <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=":)" /> Edition warriors, maybe. The internet... probably not given the amount of streaming games and "how to" videos.

As for the "ranger sux and fighters are boring" bit, I've seen / heard those arguments for over 40 years. "One true wayism" and restrictions / characterizations of races are a barrier if you disagree with them. And they are pretty changeable.</blockquote>
