[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 9575311, member: 93670"] No you can still see extreme shading of wotc only really being concerned about players while GMs were dismissed to be the cause of their problems through rulings not rules while the official books were aiming for world of cardboard feel for players. Look at things like the bonkers invisibility ruling or almost anything wrt druid like why dragon born breath weapon works in wild shape but the magical plating on a magical sapient free willed golem did not a few minutes later in the same conversation. Having both a footnote that explicitly mixed "I think the rules say I can coffee locking you the GM don't go digging for & strings together multiple related reasons why it doesn't" in a totally different section of the same book allows warlocks to ignore sleep. The end result was effectively: "Player concerns for pc power and absence of consequence are a crisis that [I]can't[/I] be left to the community while gm concerns over pc power and absence of consequence [I]must[/I] remain a thing the individual gm is to blame for causing or failing to fix well enough" getting more and more strongly implied as books continued to focus almost exclusively on player desires for those two games breaking things.
