D&D 5E What (if anything) do you find "wrong" with 5E?

[Oofta]

This is such a copout answer, and it seems to get trotted out a lot.

Almost as if 5e is a terrible busted mess and its fans can't admit it.

Or ... there's no way to please everyone and the design is designed for expansion. You don’t get double digit growth year after year with a terrible ness.

I'll admit it. 5e is a terrible busted mess, and I need third party and homebrewed material to make it play the way I want.

Satisfied?

Still, by the way, my favorite D&D rules system, for all that.

You do if you don't care that it's a mess, which i suspect a fair number of 5e players don't.

The video game industry makes tons of money with stinkers and flawed product all the time.

5e's isn't a terrible mess. It's very good. But 5e has tons of issues.

Show me on the doll where the bad edition touched you.

EDIT: Apologies if that was an overly smartass way of saying "people really shouldn't take it so personally".

Are you trying to get the Mods to lock the thread??

Well, for one thing, I seriously doubt that a relationship between a human woman and a red dragon would be consensual.

why? I promise you there is not only a kink for it, but there are 100s in that very small corner of the kink community.

in fact I am not unsure that with both the strange toys and extremely bad history of ignoreing red flags (in this case red scales) that one woman i know wouldn't be front and center saying "I love him and even if he burns everyone else he is good to me and I can change him"

I REALLY doubt that a consensual relationship between evil dragons (not really known for their caring side) and enough non-dragons would result in an entire race. Thus the ickiness factor.

what part of evil can't fall in love?

Heck sometimes my Villains origin stories start with them falling in love.



on tic tok there is a sound (something people reuse on there own videos) that even says "A good man and hero will sacrifice you to save the world, the evil villain will sacrifice the world for YOU"
