This is just a thread for things about D&D -- any edition or simulacrum -- that kind of bug you. It isn't a place for an edition war or to attack other people for their opinions. And it isn't a place where we talk about real issues that might cause real harm to people. it's a place for grousing about the small stuff.
Okay.
In 5E, it really irks me that all of the summoning spells are described as calling form some spirit that then takes the form of the whatever-you-summoned. That is just DUMB. Why not summon the actual thing? It's magic? If I summon wolves -- I literally drag wolves from someplace in the woods to serve me for a short time and send the survivors back.
In pretty much all versions of the game: Charisma. It's a mess. It doesn't mean what they think it means.
