I'm so sorry that you lost your creativity. I hooe you find it again in the future.
Nothing about my argument goes against creativity.
It just goes against players who think they can outsmart a DM by rules lawyering. Especially by some "hack" they found online that could "totally do OP damage and is completely RAW".
In fact, it being at the grace of the DM is actually more creative, since you aren't bound by rules.
And to top my argument off, the most important rule in the DMs guide is the first one: Page 4 of the Dungeon Master's Guide:
I need that meme where in one pane, the gymnast is like flipping over spikes and flames and stuff. Label that one "being creative in D&D". The other pane is the gymnast just walking across the mat. Label that one "Games that support creativity" or something.
And then there is Mage, where you get kicked in the ass and fly across the mat
