Natural 20 posted:I broadly really enjoy 5e, I think I'm the only person in the universe who seems to. But the set stat to x items are just very silly and should probably just be flat stat bonuses instead. SA has a real hate for it for a range of complicated and slightly muddled reasons, but yeah i don't think you're the only person to like the most popular ttrpg in the world. i've played them all and I think 5e captures the essence of d&D really well, which ipso facto makes it kind of mediocre, but (e.g.) advantage is genius and concentration is a very clever way to address spell caster supremacy, and the compressed stat spread is a good way of avoiding some of the 3.5 pitfalls.

Yeah let's agree to disagree and move on I think, it's probably not that productive and distracts from the lp.

It's fun hitting people with a big sword, and the game isn't hard enough to need that level of optimisation? Also you have different options for loving with baddies up close, like kicking them into pits, knocking them prone to get advantage etc. E.g. you don't need to always take the -5 to hit, and can save that for when you have advantage. If that kind of optimisation is fun for you then sure stick with the crossbows, but i do feel like your analysis is ignoring a number is potential considerations around advantage and magic items and spells, so keep going with it imo.
