Relaxed Intensity
I do not think something should get a free pass just because it involves a supernatural element. When I play my Barbarian I make decisions that my character does not make. I decide when the spirits act. They only protect my allies and not me. There is daily rationing on rage that is never explained. Why do I get my Constitution modifier to AC?
These things kind of bother me when I think about them. Then I remember how fun it is to play.
It's not just this stuff. It includes things like short and long rests, hit dice, Superiority Dice, Bardic Inspiration, Action Surge, Second Wind, Sorcery Points, and a number of other mechanics that provide no view into what is happening narratively.
I shut my brain off and enjoy the game, but this stuff is like there man and sometimes it like gets to me.
