minus-squarejjjalljs@ttrpg.networklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·6 months agoI don’t disagree with your main point, but D&D 5e is a rather shallow rules system. It’s needlessly complicated (15 strength gives you what bonus? How does readying an action work? Can you smite when unarmed?), but it’s not really deep.
