D&D still has all of that. But if upsets you that much, nobody is stopping you from running your own game and taking care to avoid including any enemies that do that. If you're having such a bad time, then that's the easy answer, isn't it?

>>97128951
So you're just going to keep making shitty Daggerheart threads for (You)s, or is there a point to all of this?

There is nothing about 5E that's fun.

Why do you keep making these threads.
You're not clever or funny
You're just cancer.

Hello
Reddit
>>
>missing isn't fun
This is what led to Fatt Coville's dogshit game where you just roll for damage. Fucking idiot didn't realize that maybe if turns go faster, like in B/X D&D, you get more rounds of combat and missing isn't such a big deal because there isn't a half-hour between turns.
>missing your ability check isn't fun
Yeah that's why something interesting should happen when you fuck up. That said, most ability checks should realistically be replaced with percentage chance rolls.
>missing your turn cause you're stunned isn't fun
I kinda agree, which is why I prefer stunned as a -8 to all rolls or something like that so you can still do something, even if you're massively debuffed. However, see above. If the combat isn't a fucking 1-round rocket tag with 45 minute turns, then it's not as annoying if you get stunned for 1 round
>not having magic on your turn isn't fun
Okay?? What's the point of having a dagger or crossbow then? Also you already get cantrips for free, so shut the fuck up and stop complaining.
>random encounters are not fun
No one cares about your "narrative" retard, it's realistic that you run into unexpected stuff. Doesn't mean it should all result in mindless violence, but still. Holy fuck, DMs that have to have everything be conveniently part of the story, are fucking fags, and their games suffer as a result.
>being penalized for playing a particular race isn't fun
Stop playing freakshit races then.
>dying isn't fun
Cope. You're not playing a roleplaying game if you can't die.
You are not a real roleplayer.
Get. Over. it.

>>97128951
Imagine if all of this went both ways.
>enemies never miss
>enemies can't be stunned
>enemies never run out of spells
>enemies never die
How insane that would be.

Ok but what would you do if you saw an Elric moder wielding a cursed blade, listening to the howling winds of chaos and just generally cursing his doomed fate?
>>
>>97129535
Can't tell if this is a joke or not, because D&D already does this.
>attack bonuses rapidly outpace AC at higher levels
>Legendary Resistances and condition immunities
>NPCs use entirely different magic rules
>HP bloat and Mythic Traits
>>
>>97128951
Does anyone even actually fucking play D&D ONE/5.5? I mean, even the most queer players only play it once or twice before going back to 5e. Plus even WOTC admitted that sales on new D&D are down. So my guess is this is someone trying to use a forum to advertise WOKE D&D without paying for ad space. That or they're so brain damage they actually think that shit is good. Which if that's the case they should get out of the gene pool for all of our sakes.

Yes, I WILL fudge the dice and you WILL follow my narrative nigga!

>>97129674
I could just not have to roll, I could just hit.
>>
>>97130032
But then what will everyone do with their collections of bespoke artisanal dice?
>>
>>97130081
Damage rolls still exist. Just introduce some d20 damage weapons or spells.
>>
>>97128951
What does FUN stand for? Clearly it's not just capitalized "fun", but some acronym, but I fant figure out what exactly.
