Oh, I thought you were saying it served the same role! My bad.
Nah. That, and if someone falls far enough (along with a few other things) in my game they're going to die unless there's magic involved.

In the early you noted, 2014-2018, "The DMG is fine, good even!" was a normal sentiment. I dunno if it was the majority sentiment, but it was common.Really? I know for a fact folks on here have specifically told me it shouldn't be. That it is exactly fine the way it is, or perhaps needing only a very slight touch-up, and that expecting a book called a Dungeon Master's Guide to actually, y'know, guide was genuinely ridiculous.
I am, to my surprise, seeing very little of that here.
There's no real room for conversation when you start throwing the word fact around while expressing something that is very clearly your opinion.And I have, but that doesn't change the fact that there is no creative reason to keep making changes to the same game, over and over. Other games don't do this, even the ones that have been around a long time.
If those are all the places that you can find support on "things to buy", then in the very least, I think they've proved that those things need to be COMPILED (and probably clarified and expanded upon).Absolutely not. This sort of commentary is in fact downright unhelp and I would suggest intentionally disingenuous, because I feel like you know that isn't true.
None of that solves the gold problem, you're citing random things you could, technically, in theory, maybe spent gold on, when you know perfectly well that the game doesn't really support that in the way previous editions have. You're even citing an adventure for god's presumably it has boats for sale or something?
Index bad, and also DM guidance is awful. The game just does not help DMs run the game well.The only thing floating to the top far is the index, I cannot recall a single person that has ever liked 5es index, it’s at best barely tolerable. So perhaps that is it, annyone actually want to claim they think 5es index is decent?
No one said that. "Every opinion will be shouted down" does not mean that every disagreement is shouting down. It means that among the disagreements will always be found some shouting down.Just saying that not every disagreement is "Shouting down".![]()
It isn’t fine. It’s poorly designed. It’s the equivalent of if the arcane trickster got no features other than Spellcasting, and only learned a few spells over the course of the entire subclass progression. It also prices its abilities at a higher rate than any other monk subclass, and even JC has said that’s a problem.I agree it doesn't fit the fiction of an Avatar Bender, it was probavly a bad idea to try on that framework at all, and thst is where the designers went wrong: botching the narratice. But as an effective Monk, it is fine. It's not a quote-unquote "true issue".
