You may not have noticed, but the current build is still fairly glitchy and with a lot of features missing and incomplete. That early build he was talking about was even less polished, less complete, more broken, more buggy, and more unstable.

For those reasons, I do not believe it would be satisfying to play, even if it adhered closer to 5e rules.



Totally aware it would be a buggy mess. Or, alternatively, it would just be DoS 2 engine with very basic to-hit/damage from 5e.

But my point would still stand. The simple combat mechanics could show whether a closer adherence to 5e rules is what people would prefer, or more loose DoS rules.
