[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 8296155, member: 63508"] I do as well. You do know it's not fair to compare a product printed by a lone independent third party author on a separate third party publishing site with the actual IP holder that is a multimillion corporation with loads of connections. Thinking the purchases on third party sites is equal to their total potential audience is flawed thinking. For example, there is a reason why the fighter subclasses have become more and more magical and now combined together reaching or passing popularity of the Champion. Because the constant "I like gritty grounded warriors" claims, a noticeable percentage of D&D fandom like their warriors to be highly fantastic and superheroic. However in 2017 someone could have said these players are a minority, there is no good reason for WOTC to cater to them, and they should go to 3rd parties. To me, the weakness part of 5e is the simplicity of their weapons combat system. It's good for teaching a beginner. However it's simplicity and few levers encourages the DPR madness we see because there is no official support for warriors to do but "deal moar damagez". One would think they would officially support some kind of advanced combat option. [/QUOTE]
