[QUOTE="Ragmon, post: 7419053, member: 99604"] Wasen't the point, some people don't like to play complex systems but still like RPGs. 5e is a less complex system them many other major systems, thus these people like playing 5e. 1+1=2 (why do I have to spell this out). Thats all up to the GM how they handle it. Player describes what they would like to do, GM says roll this and that. GM decides if the player fails/succeeds, based on the system played or based on their whim. This a completely different topic on how GM handle system and rules. It never did, you never needed to. Its all up to your imagination. If you limited your character's style to their Race and Class, that was all up to you. Yes some classes have suggestion on what they are about, but hey, thats just a suggestion. If you are thinking of the Feature that come with the background, then its to make the game go more smoother. Instead of rolling you just say that you have the Outlander background, no survival check needed when traveling from point A to B. Also you don't have to bother with counting rations cause the background provides food too. Simplification/streamlining is the name of the game. [/QUOTE]
