[QUOTE="Micah Sweet, post: 9459933, member: 6747251"] There's nothing wrong with liking 5e; as I've said, I like the 5e base system just fine (even if it's not my favorite). My objection was presenting subjective opinion of why a particular person likes it as objective fact. That's why I "liked" your post, because you didn't do that. And I wouldn't have had to explain my feelings for 5e (which was clearly quite boring to you) if you hadn't decided to broad stroke my opinions as "I hate 5e". You [I]know[/I] that's not the case, so why say that other than to be inflammatory? For the record, I like the ad/disad mechanic (although I feel it's overused and like more variety than that in modifying rolls). I like the subclass concept and the room for expansion to the game it provides. In general and with some exceptions it's a better core system for me than 3e was, certainly better than 4e for me (I still prefer the mechanical underpinnings and design philosophy of the TSR editions). Thise things it doesn't do to my satisfaction in the WotC books are admirably corrected IMO in Level Up. I just feel 5e's core ruleset is better realized for my purposes in Level Up than it is in WotC D&D, and that feeling is just as subjective as everyone else's. [/QUOTE]
