[quote=Bahutsauvage] Making drastic changes to the system that invalidate entire builds, increase the power of already powerful builds, all under the guise of "well, I'm not banning any specific build, so you're free to play a suboptimal character if you want - others just might have all of your abilities and more"...I would not play with such a DM.
That is why I was talking about arranging that with the people you are playing with - that's a "guys let's skip over the monster builds, they're boring" situation - I'm playing Shadow of Avernus at the moment as a player and we simply have NO Multiclassing because it was agreed upon that we don't like how 5th Ed handled that (the DM and 2 Players didn't like it, one is still complaining that he can't do it, I dont have a problem with the 5thed rules on that but wanted to play a singleclass Char. to begin with, and one is a total newbie who didn't know what we were talking about anyways)
As I said, it's just a matter of specifying how you want to play with your mates, and that is not that much to ask. I totally understand that this changes seem rather unnecessary, i get it, I just think they are not that catastrophic given you play with some reasonable mates who can agree on stuff, especially if they are experienced D&D players. And there's the single player option where you can do whatever you want basically Maybe a "strictly 5th ed" Setting Option would be a solution?
