D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

Give me an example other that dead horse known as hit points, and we'll talk.

I enjoy dnd, and the type of games you look to like to play, so dont get me wrong, but ones we've tended to accept in past that look to just be for genre or narrative sort of purposes (or perhaps game balance, but hard to determine sometimes):
Hard Armour limits (and even dnd novels allowed this to be broken with likes of Ariakas).
Weapon restrictions.
Fully evading area of effect spells when in middle of them.
Hiding in plain sight.
Lightning bolt no longer bouncing, and not being able to be earthed.

Given I'm specifically talking about hit points here, that's kind of a nonsensical ask. The whole point with talking mooks is mostly about them doing the same sort of thing elevating hit points do in the opposite direction.

I'm not happy with any of those, and avoid them whenever I can get away with it without my 5e loving players revolting.

What do you mean by hard armor limits?

Like only certain classes can wear certain Armour, rather than allowing a mage to be in full plate even if with some sort of trade off.
