[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 6677740, member: 5834"] Because the rule only has a material effect on one subclass of the rogue. Otherwise it provides a negligible, barely noticeable advantage not worth writing a house rule over. I'm not the only DM. I don't feel like writing a house rule, ensuring I get the ok of the other DM, and making sure the players understand the difference. If someone else wants to run it, then I have to ensure they understand the difference. A major reason I switched to 5E was to toss out my overly large and growing [I]Pathfinder[/I] house rule document. I want to keep my 5E document tiny. At the moment my 5E house rule document is one, uncrowded page. I want to keep it that way for the core books. If the Assassin becomes an underused archetype because of the clarification, so be it. I can live with that, even if I don't like it. If someone asks me about the rogue I tell them to play the Arcane Trickster if they want to optimize and anything they want if they prefer the flavor of another archetype. The Assassin can still be fun, but it isn't optimal. [/QUOTE]
