I'm just saying I personally don't like it. I'm not saying to remove it, just make it optional. I'm not familiar with D&D rules. It's all made up anyway, isn't it?
In general I think the more options a game has to configure how it works, the better. Ie - you already have difficulty levels. So if there could just be a checkbox to on/off other game features that would great. Provided it's not rocket science to implement.
