Message: <blockquote data-quote="Adamant" data-source="post: 9745101" data-attributes="member: 6923485">I voted 7 (purely from a player's perspective rather than a DM's) because 7.5 wasn't an option. It would have been an 8 or even 9 if they hadn't gone totally backward on some areas of design. Rangers are so clunky with bonus actions that the PHB Beast Master doesn't even work properly (not to mention some older subclasses like Horizon Walker), and the new Background system is nice in theory, but way too limited unless you make a custom one (which was moved to the DMG for some weird reason). Hiding rules also got more confusing, and removing the ability to move between attacks for anything other than the Attack action (even if very few people noticed the change) is annoying. I'm also not a fan of Halflings (which I like a lot in 2014) being pigeonholed into the sneaky roles with hiding behind allies. Why not give a choice like in 2014? Tieflings are also not so interesting, but that was the case in 2014 as well.Overall I feel like post-Tasha's 2014 5e is better, but not by much (I'd probably rate it an 8). Many aspects of 2024 are better but a couple (Ranger, PHB Backgrounds) are so much worse it's nearly impossible to use them.</blockquote>
