D&D 5E Player satisfaction survey

[cmad1977]

I'd say 95% satisfied.
So according to the OP the players hate the game.

... but given how the MAJORITY of people are responding to those polls saying they are NOT satisfied with the classes as-written...

Huh? Most of the polls you mention show that 80%+ people say they are satisfied or very satisfied with each class. People recognize that nothing can ever be perfect, so satisfied with a few tweaks is normal for every single edition of every single game in the entire history of mankind. (See, I cna exaggerate as much as the next fellow.)

Well, he's a new 5e player (new potential boyfriend of one of the player) so I often just say: ''Dont ask ''if'', just describe, I'll call the roll as I see fit''. I think he's just used to have a system that dont rely much on player imagination, instead having a rule for each slight variation of a theme or action. He does have a hard time figuring out how to make a character concept if there's not one one class option called the name he's looking for. He's already complaining about being restricted by character options, even though I allow mostly everything . I think he had a heart attack when I told him about the rate of publication of new PC options this edition.

Blow his mind and say you can re-flavor a Paladin to be a Psychic Warrior, psionics-based fighter that uses his mastery of mental powers to do all of his effects. All he has to do is make up a story for them and you'll do it.

Like, 'Divine Sense' is that outer planes and undead things give off brain waves that stand out from normal living things in a way that generates a unique signature. Oath of Devotion is just the result of the absolute self-mastery of long contemplation that has derived the absolute truth of humanity's natural way of being in the absence of other influences, and his job is to use his power to bring that self-knowledge to others.

Film it if possible.

Nope. You are counting "mostly satisfied" because it sounds positive as a whole, but it still implies that they want or "need" changes. I am counting only players who are satisfied with things as they are, instead of thinking how they could or "should" be.

Barbarian: 28% sat, 72% unsat
Bard: 47% sat, 53% unsat
Cleric: 42% sat, 58% unsat
Druid: 25% sat, 75% unsat
Fighter: 38% sat, 62% unsat

"unsat" = "want to change at least something"

It's still giving a rank of "satisfied" even if it's not a rank of "100% perfect no possible improvement". It explicitly has the work satisfied in the description.

You don't get to twist my or any other poll-taker's vote when we picked an option that has satisfied in the definition and pretend that it's a pick that says unsatisfied. That's fundamentally dishonest. Don't try to put words in my mouth.

Here's how to be honest: Look for the results that say satisfied. Count them as satisfied. Look for the results that say unsatisfied. Count them as unsatisfied. Fin.

I was working with him this morning on a character where he wanted '' to give many dice to the party to make them better ''. He was trying to build a valbard/battlemaster multi class to throw around Inspiration die and buffs, but losing spells slots and not having is Inpirations die on short rest made him hesitant, so I just told him: why dont you have a look at the war cleric, reflavor his buffs as pure martial devotion and fuel by the fire of battle. Gess what? Love at first sight. Not a hopeless case, tho that would a made a great video.

So far, none of the players in my group have asked for any tweaks.
