[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 9583933, member: 93670"] While I agree entirely, I also thought the satire was obvious enough to avoid[URL='https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PoesLaw'] Poe's law[/URL]. The vast majority of 5e's system level problems have been ignored and often made into made intractable disasters when seenat the table. The last decade of reflexive "well I don't see that at my table, must be a [I]you[/I] problem" style gm blaming juxtaposed with endless "give the players what they want" has only served to ensure wotc fails to support the gm with tools they need and often provides "support" in the form of an arrow to the knee like a "magic item tracking sheet" to track the raw number of magic items warded rather than better support for them on the PC sheet itself where related elements like encumbrance/carry capacity and attunement tracking is totally absent while gm supporting safety nets like well defined∆ body slot limits and bonus type conflicts not even optional footnotes. ∆ see the many times this thread alone has had people argue one way or the other one of ten rings was possible by RAW only for someone else to points rules text that implies otherwise as an example of how bad the current hint of a limit is [/QUOTE]
