[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 7861435, member: 6704184"] Why pay for something I’ll just have to rebalance myself? I mean, I’ve allowed maybe 1/5th of what I’ve picked up from there, because most of it is useless from a balance stand point. And I’m not even especially worried about balance in 5e! I just want options that don’t shoot significantly outside the power band of the PHB! Not to mention all the poorly designed stuff from the perspective of the basic design philosophy of 5e. A little innovation is great, but things have to actually fit with the rest of the game. Hell, even Kobold Press I’ve got products from that just don’t work without tinkering from me and my fellow DMs in my group. Even beyond that, the existence of 3pp material doesn’t help those folks who (unlike me for the most part) aren’t happy with 5e’s design goals or output rate. Not every group is okay with adding homebrew to their game. Rather a lot of groups plays as close to RAW/wotc only as possible. It’s funny that the shaman keeps getting mentioned, though.
