[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 9478922, member: 11760"] I assume the artist made a mistake with the shotgun painting and they weren't intentionally going for the dwarf not using it correctly. And being "embarrassed" about not reading the 2014 DMG? Come on. It was organized in a slapdash fashion that actively hindered its use as a supplement, which is why WotC has led with "this time, the organization isn't terrible." Gygax was making it up as he was going along with the 1E DMG, which shares many of the same issues, but WotC had already produced multiple DMGs before the 2014 one. Even if, as they've made clear, they were understaffed, had no budget and were in a rush, making a basic outline of what should appear when in the DMG, based on a glance at previous DMGs and what worked and what doesn't, is essentially free. The 2014 DMG's problems are WotC's and if a customer didn't want to slog through a book that could have easily have been significantly better, just by not organizing it like crap, that's their right, as the person who shelled out $30 or more for the book.
