[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 8593795, member: 6801845"] As I posted above, Ferrari makes amazing vehicles. They're truly special and unique. That doesn't mean that the Toyota Camry is a bad vehicle because it has a different target. The game is quite clear on it's intent. The DM is in charge of the game, not the rules. Different groups will have slightly different play styles and rules interpretations. Way back when 5E was new there were interviews where they talked about a lot of this. One example was the stealth rules. Crawford had written up a lengthy document giving very explicit rules for how stealth worked. He discussed it with the team and they decided that instead of doing that, they would leave a lot of it up to individual play style and not dictate nitty-gritty specifics. That doesn't make it a bad game. If you want a car that will do 0-60 in less time than it takes many people to read this sentence, buy a Ferrari. If you want a practical commuter car, get a Camry. If you want a specialty niche game, buy a specialty niche game. That doesn't make mass market D&D is inherently bad. [/QUOTE]
