I'm not playing the TT but I'll be glad to teach the rules to your friends wink

And you could stand to be a little less sarcastic and hostile to people who don't share your negative opinion on a game?

I was just saying that it's not how it works in DnD. If your friends really said it is they're wrong, no matter who you're more inclined to believe.

First, the basic rules of PnP are not a penal code, and if you do not follow it, SWAT will suddenly not burst into your home.
Secondly, the rules can sometimes even be heavily modified, it all depends on the group's approach. Some groups like to focus more on combat, while for others combat is absent.
Third, everyone plays the way they like.

I doubt that the group of players who really cares about whether they are implementing the rules exactly is actually large. There were even complaints about the most common homebrews on the forum.
Some people won't be happy if the game isn't 100% RAW or looks like BG2. I suspect that they don't even care if the game will be more enjoyable that way.
Reading the forums, you would get the impression that the game instead of 88% positive (which is a huge amount in the case of a controversial game in EA) should have at most 50-60%.

I won't go into other explanations about it.

I absolutely don't care if the game isn't exactly like the rules.
I absolutely don't care if they add new mechanics (I even find it cool because according to me every RPG should now include some Larian's concept).

But I care if their mechanics unbalance everything and if those rules lead to poor and repetitive tactical combats.
If MY choices are bad because THEY decided how I should play, I cannot enjoy it as a tactical and a DnD game.

I'm not sure driving players and limiting their creativity in combats is why any DM creates homebrew.
That's the result of BG3's homebrew.

Read other threads if you don't understand why (you probably already have).
