Changes nothing. It was edited to briefly acknowledge a system exists which is borderline irrelevant to the subject of the article.

The author writes about building a character in the DnD system. It's not like they're providing a shit load of rule changes to make 5e more like some other system. It's no different from saying I'd like to play a Conan-like barbarian, or a Jedi-like monk, or a Harry Potter-like wizard.

You could figure out how to build those characters and have fun or you can clap back with this toxic ass bullshit of "there's a better system for that. This isn't Star Wars or Harry Potter. You're only allowed to play DnD the way I want you to."
