The VOIDRUNNER'S CODEX is coming! Explore new worlds, fight oppressive empires, fend off fearsome aliens, and wield deadly psionics with this comprehensive boxed set expansion for 5E and A5E!
My suggestion is to let it go. Nobody here is going to benefit from what you're trying to do. And it frankly says more about you that you think anybody who'd walk into this topic and read so far up to that post needs that kind of patronizing coddling.
People can think for themselves. They...
When the context is you trying to downplay what the book has to say, when said book is recognized by game designers, amateur and professional, as having the right of things?
As I said, there's better ways to disagree than to just dismiss, via a wishy washy attempt to reframe it, a widely...

Yet, you seem very keen on trying to squash the view point instead of, I don't know, ignoring it.
Do you expect someone to change their mind when your only substantive response to them has been to shut up?
It is fascinating how nobody really wants to acknowledge that may be how 5e does things is bad and is part and parcel to why this topic even exists.
If you want to talk about justifying the Ranger, you can't stick your fingers in your ears and refuse to address how 5e works and how that makes...
