[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 6864550, member: 42582"] I just reread the OP. The opening sentence is: This is followed by a list of reasons for that statement, that are grounded in particular observations about the mechanics of the game. The word "tent" (and hence the phrase "big tent") does not occur in the first 20 posts in this thread. As I read it, the OP is not about whether 5e is a popular or unpopular game. It's about how a player with a particular preferred approach to the game might take that approach within the 5e rules framework, which is - at least prima facie - not as well-suited to that approach. So far, the answers seem to be - ranged sharpshooter (probably Eldritch Knight?), or polearm/sentinel barbarian, or maybe some sort of paladin build. Not so many full caster options seem to have been put forward (or maybe I'm not remembering them) but presumably there are some of them too that the OP might look at. [/QUOTE]
