[QUOTE="Ohmyn, post: 7625733, member: 6999115"] Yes, you are. A bias is not inherently a negative thing. A bias can be positive, or can simply be a confirmation bias, but it can lead to misguided judgement either way. You like the feel, the lore, the history, etc. Many DMs that feel this way too strongly prohibit studded leather in 5E, which would be a misguided judgement due to bias. Your preference for the original lore gives you a bias when in a game system that has a different lore. 4E did not have the metal limitation, they were simply not proficient by default, and I'm sure you wouldn't like that.
