Why should they want an entire type of character to rely on a secondary subsystem that nothing else in the game uses?Here’s the thing. The above is a mechanical preference. Unnecessary new subsystems annoy a lot of people, but when it’s a single subclass, or a couple, or soemthing like that, it’s easy to ignore. Even a single class, like the Sorcerer.But if in the playtest they’d proposed every martial character using superiority dice, I’d have voted against that, too, even though I love the BM fighter.You really seem to want to be able to dismiss preference as a sort of imaginative laziness, and that isn’t what happened here. Again, it’s not that folks can’t be bothered to learn a new system. It’s that folks view it as bad design to use a whole new, unnecessary, subsystem that no other part of the game uses, just to make something stand out more.And I’d wager that a lot of folks also just felt it was much too fiddly for absolutely no actual benefit.</blockquote>
