Had I known you were old enough to be my father I would have had a better response to you. Sorry, bunny bunny moonbunny in flames sorry.Speaking is cathartic. I don't really think that solutions are that easy to come  by. From my own experience a lot of proposed solutions tend to only wok when you are DMing and not playing, or when you have a considerable sway over your DM. But it takes way less persuasion to make other editions work for certain styles, sometimes even none, as they are out of the box. I feel this in itself is open to debate. Not having a solid base as well a base hurts certain ways to play. It is easier to do certain things -like thecasualoblivion optimizing for combat, or my own  going for rp heavy special snowflakes- when you know the clear limits and the clear "rights", I feel less confident expressing myself into a character the less I have to work with, not for lack of creativity, but because that would be extremely unfair and I would hog the spotlight for the wrong reasons -not to mention that I would feel like an outsider that is demanding special treatment from the table-.  DM empowerment also tends to facilitate "Emperor DMs" that are very closed to input from players, I don't know but some of the most open minded and facilitating DMs I've played with came from the rules-heavy 3rd and 4th editions (Ok also from 2e), but I have found way too many dictatorial DMs with 5th.</blockquote>
