True, but I was actually thinking the other way where work that adds complexity is only "needless" if the DM and players don't enjoy the results.

What work is "needless" is very subjective.

No attachments was my point.

It's a look. I can see it.

I'm an A5e fan through and through, everything it does differently from WotC is an improvement as far as I'm concerned. That being said, I am happy to incorporate elements from a variety of 5e games, even WotC, if I like them.

I don't know. We all saw what happened to the Jedi...

Is that a problem? Different strokes.

I solved this problem by picking a base ruleset (Level Up) and creating a houserule reference document that includes every option I want to have in a game I run from a wide variety of materials, all sourced by title and page number. I have pdfs of every one of those sources, and all of them...

I think full weapon access would be more appropriate as a feat or a at least mid-level class feature than right out of the gate. Makes a lot more sense to me.

I like that too. A nice way to control access logically while still letting the player choose (albeit from a shorter list).

Seems like another either/or scenario for you. You and I are I think just too different in what we want out of gaming. I've described several methods of compromise in this thread, but if your way insists upon getting to choose multiple specific superpowers from a vast list at every level up...

I like it. Combine with a graduated degree system of success and failure I'd like to implement, and Bob's your uncle!

Are you talking trends and popularity in design? Do not care about that.

I've decided to presume you're not being sarcastic here, and simply applaud your good sense. Bring on that Lucerne hammer!

I fight against illogical rules in D&D all the time, for my part.
