[QUOTE="M_Natas, post: 9164833, member: 7025918"] Okay, we are talking 5e here. But to be fair, I don't play a lot of other TTRPGs, so their can be non ressource based strategic RPGs. But 5e is not one of those. The strategic decisions I thought about are ingame strategic decisions, that are mostly system agnostic (do we go to town x or you, do we ally with a or b?) Of course there are other ways to determine success or not, but a skill challenge for example is not a strategic player decision. It is just a tactical decision, which is also quite simple (use the (character with the) best skills available to do the challenge). There is no strategy in Skill Challenges. Their impact is short term. And yes, player creation can be a strategic choice (which skills to pick, which spells to choose, which class to take), but the decision points for that are far and wide inbetween and pretty front loaded. During an adventure your never change your skill proficiency, in actual play I have rarley seen a wizard change hs prepared spells ( usually only after level up). But 80-90 of of the mechanical strategic core gameplay of D&D 5e is ressource attrition. [/QUOTE]
