[QUOTE="hawkeyefan, post: 7158425, member: 6785785"] Well I wasn't trying to shut down discussion. Just trying to be clear about what is actually being discussed! Exactly...the Rulings Not Rules and focus on DM judgment and in modifying the rules....all of that speaks to the design approach. More so than any other edition of the game, in my opinion. Sure, and I get that. I think fans of something are more likely to defend it in a discussion. that's not to say that fans of 5E cannot admit its flaws. I also suppose that sometimes the conversations from thread to thread can affect each other. In many of my recent comments on this thread, I was addressing one poster's desire for WotC to fundamentally change their design approach....but this also kind of reminds me of the discussion you're talking about, where I think similar expectations have been voiced, and to which my reply is usually "they're not going to change it, expecially since they have given you the tools to change it yourself".....so I guess sometimes that becomes my rote answer for such seemingly similar requests.
