[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 8319596, member: 63508"] You don't fix compromises. You fix problems. It is okay to say 5e's design of a class has flaws. Nope. Every edition is flawed. There is no war to be waged. That's is what holds D&D back: people refusing to admit their favorite edition has issues in order to not give warring factions ammo. 5e can be the most popular and biggest dungeon adventure TTRPG and still bungle a few classes, races, and rules. I don't want the fighter to be better than the rogue at out of combat. The fighter is better at combat that the rogue in 2 roles. The rogue is better in in all the exploration and social roles. My issue is that 5e is based around the ability scores but the ability scores are not balanced at all. The rogue is based around the best score. Classes based around the mental scores have magic. Strength has one skill, all its fighting styles desire a positive score in CON, and has limited use outside of battle in the default rules.It's all patchable but the issues are deeper than many want to admit.
