[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7169563, member: 996"] I can certainly see that, sure. A system caters to that kind of enjoyment by providing many options to the player. 5e does have options, if the DM opts into them... It's a different skill set and different form of artistic expression and enjoyment. Equally legitimate, of course. And, in 5e, arguably favored due to the heavy emphasis on DM Empowerment. Just as system mastery was heavily favored in RAW 3.5, of course. So, you could just see it as a pendulum swing, from one edition supporting one style to another supporting an opposite style. But, the same latitude 5e gives the DM to run roughshod over the rules, allows him to establish firmer rules, and stick to them. So it can be taken either direction - The whole 'make the game your own' thing. Don't worry about it - and stay hydated... [/QUOTE]
