I should have said modifier, however.I just don't see how that's that much different from what 5e already has, but okay.Have you ever played (or eaten, or read, or whatever) something because you believed you liked it, and then played(/eaten/read/etc.) something else, which blew your mind as to how much better it was in ways you couldn't even have conceived before doing so?Have you ever played/etc. something because it was tolerable and readily available, even if it wasn't really something you liked?Have you ever played/etc. something because you could make a whole bunch of changes to it that made it suit you better, even though those changes might go far afield from the original thing, and possibly be much more effort/expense/etc. than the unmodified thing?Have you ever played/etc. something that was genuinely not to your taste, but everything else was even less your speed, so you picked the thing that fit best while hoping for something better?Most of these questions are rhetorical, because I know your answer for most of them is "yes," given your advocacy of Level Up. But the point stands. Something can be widely-used, "popular" even, and yet still be not very good at all.Consider Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter (which I refuse to call by its stupid new name.) Many folks openly hate these platforms, and yet still use them, because good alternatives are thin on the ground right now.</blockquote>
