Why the hate on 5e?

[stoutstien]

If you're only looking at relative power levels, sure. That said... many players like that idea of system mastery. Are you going to tell them they're having fun wrong because it's what they like?

It may not be what you're into, but that's why I worded it that way. 5e has options like that, but they're incredibly limited compared to the mind boggling breadth available in 3.x and it turns players who like that system mastery off.

Not for you? Great. Keep playing 5e.

Like I said I play both. I was just pointing out when you take in all the factors the number of real options dwindle if you want to have the whole table on the same relative power level.

I would like to see a mix of the two in the future.
