D&D 5E (2014) What are the "True Issues" with 5e?

[Ruin Explorer]

Fair enough, but I believe not providing  any possible explanation beyond, "that's what the rules say" counts.

You're hoisting yourself with your own petard here.

There's an obvious possible explanation - these humans, for whatever reason, are more capable than earth humans.

Facts not in evidence. You want to claim that? Prove it.

Recovery has gotten progressively more ridiculous, for starters.

 

[Ruin Explorer]

They don't use any species name.

They use a common name that already, in our world, describes a class of intelligent ape. No where in the PH will you find H. Sapiens sapiens.

Yup and all evidence suggests this is either a different species, or environmental factors (like, the presence of magic) mean that the same species posses different capabilities.

we all make claims here. Haven’t seen you prove a single thing…

You want to tell me it has not become less lethal and chars stronger than they were at the same level?

It has gotten more super heroic

I'd also like to request people stop using 'superheoric' as a slur against things that are in no way superheroic.

But not one they provide, beyond, "that's what the rules say".

Recovery has gotten progressively more ridiculous, for starters.

That is starters, you need a lot more than that to argue that very extreme position though. Maybe you should make the actual arguments rather than relying on rotating them in your mind but not actually stating them?

On a scale from mosquito to Godzilla, humans very much fall into the same range

On the other hand, the DnD equivalent to Godzilla only has Str 30. It's not that far off from the human scale (which is also halfling and pixie scale!).

 

[mamba]

That's not an argument lol, that's a statement that, whilst true, doesn't appear to have any bearing on the discussion.

it explains why male and female strength has the same lower and upper limit

 

[Micah Sweet]

You need to make a cogent rational argument, as to why an answer has to exist.

You haven't done that. You've merely expressed a preference for answers, and asserted that preference is mandatory. It is not.

It's mandatory for me to be content with the game. What other criteria is there?
