// Small rant, but one of the things that always bothers me, is how deeply obsessed dnd players are with rules, with wordings and details, with what is official and what isn't and what got publiced in a book.....
Over an edition that was very, very obviously meant to be rules light, customizable and adaptable.
You got the devs openly saying how they play certain rules differently on their own table, because they make the books for the majority, but they enjoy it differently themselves! And everyone should adjust things as they enjoy them!
You got the very dungeon master's guide talking about how you SHOULD be using different attributes for skills depending on the situation(bringing the examples of intelligence persuasion and strength intimidation, and I think constitution athletics is mentioned somewhere too), and that the appointed attributes are just what is COMMON, to help NEWBIES have a guideline.
You got them talking about how they didn't want to give a draconic subclass to every class, because it would just be...too similar. So..just customize! Pick feats, pick draconic gifts, pick the subclass and shove it in your other class you enjoy!
Just...have fun!
And so much more!
And then you got the players, and specifically the dms, in their majority, going like 'NUH! The bookkk doesn't saaayyy it this wayyy we go by the bbbboookkk the BOOOOOKKK THE BOOKK'
Aaaahhhhhhhhh
