But we also need to keep in mind that for many, it's not one mechanic out of hundred but it's already 20ish mechanics out of hundred. For me DoaM is only mildly offensive, so I can say it won't individually affect my decision of playing 5e. I can say the same about the total absence of traditional vancian casters, about genetically superior humans, about the megafeats, about saving throws being too much Dex-Con-Wis instead of more evenly spread, about subclasses not getting the same treatment for all classes, about too gross skills list, about a bunch of specific feats and spells and class features... None of these is remotely enough to keep me away from an edition, but the decrease the positive feeling about it.I'm still fairly sure I'll be buying and liking the new edition, because it will clearly improve our games compared to 3e. However my main motivation for the switch is that 3e is too cumbersome. More things I dislike about 5e means more work I have to do* to adjust it to my tastes, which means the 5e advantage over 3e gets slimmer.*removing character options itself is not really work... explaining each time to players what is banned/changed from the books and why, forcing changes to characters already made, handling possibly unwanted consequences (not in this DoaM case), etc. is the real work</blockquote>
