[QUOTE="Ahrimon, post: 6554020, member: 12630"] That's awesome and I'm very glad of the systemic changes that have helped to immerse the characters in the game. I'm looking forward to actually playing and having a character involved in the world. That said, I do understand that there are folks out there who want kick in the door dungeon delving style of game. I believe it's called a beer and pretzel game. They're not interested in anything outside of the dungeon and play DnD as more of an action game. There's nothing wrong with this, the game mostly supports it, and I hope they all have great games. 5e does put the ball in the DMs court for things to spend gold on for this style of game. I can understand why these players and DMs would be a little frustrated that they weren't given everything in one package, but I can't understand the wailing and gnashing of teeth from some people here. I'm sorry if the game didn't give you everything you need without any input from you, but it did give you everything you need with a little bit of work. To these folks I would like to say, don't sweat the small stuff. So what if your home pricing system isn't 100% balanced. Go with it and adjust as needed. You don't need everything spelled out to have a great game. Embrace what you have, make up the rest, and have fun with your friends. For those who say they don't have time, I just can't see it. I manage 60 people at work and have two kids and a wife at home and can still find time to make up campaign details. You may have to sacrifice some XBox/Netflix/PS4/Game of Thrones time to make it work, but if you really want those details it shouldn't be a problem. [/QUOTE]
