Either respect the source material or replace it with something of comparable quality. What we have right now is a miserably considered hybrid, and it's not just for early access reasons.


Couldn't agree more with everything you've said. Exactly how I feel too. What baffles me is that you take away mechanics that are perfectly balanced from D&D to actually throw in other mechanics even more complicated (surfaces and effects). I could get why some of the changes are being made for the sake of simplification, but not why they're being made just for replacing it with imbalanced and untested systems which don't belong to the very ruleset you advertise your game to be based on.
