DnD 5e’s odd list of skills is the product of gradual consolidation of skills over the course of several editions.

I love Pathfinder! Comparing and contrasting 5e and PF2 is both fun and informative.

The new Enclave Magic feat for DnD makes you even better at working with beasts. Sure, you can replace the impactful parts with Find Familiar, but should that stop you?

Dragonscarred is such a cool feat, I just wish that the ability scores for the background/feat combo made worked together at all. DnD is not a game built for you to have high scores in several abilities.

The current lack of background options is more of an issue than the way that backgrounds work. As we get more options, the restriction will stop being frustrating and it will become more interesting.

DnD 5e has bad skills because the way skills are written in 5e is bad. Based on the descriptions of what each skill does, half to the kills don’t even live up to their names.

The new zhentarim ruffian feat for dnd is absolutely fantastic. Cool flavor, good mechanics, and it leads into Zhentarim Tactics which build upon it really well.

The new Tyro of the Gauntlet feat for DnD is basically useless. Protection from problems that don’t exist plus help doing a thing that almost never happens in 5e.

The new dragon cult background and feats have a mismatch in their ability scores which will prove limiting. Is this an error? Is this an intentional balance choice? Does WotC want to make me sad?
