Three things:
- Is rolling 1d20 annoying in early level 5e - yes, but then again I can't blame Larian for using this mechanic..
Well, what's being discussed here doesn't really seem to be an issue coming strictly from Larian's implementation, as much as a core issue with the ruleset.
And honestly there's no really any meaningful way around its limit except saying "fuck that, let's come up with our better homebrew variant or custom system replacing this one entirely".
The alternative is cheating on the dice rolls, which is even cheaper and patronizing as a solution, frankly.
