Anyways my issue with 5e is it half assed the system it tried to make it simple but then had feats that allowed some weapons and not other and the reason given make you scratched your head and say wtf. 5e tries to simplify the weapons but at the same time have some exception it is kind of weird; I get a longsword is a martial weapon but a whip which is weird because it would be more likely used by a none trained person  because it was used more as a tool or punishment then anything. That is my issue with 5e they tried too have it both ways and did a terrible job. Anyways that was my biggest gripe is they have these half done measures instead of picking one or the other method they tried to do a little of both and in my opinion  dropped the ball. Now with all that said I still enjoy 5e a lot I just wish they would had picked something that made more sense on either end of the spectrum</blockquote>
