D&D Rules That Make No Sense But DMs Should Use Anyway
The creators of Dungeons & Dragons introduced some rules that don't make sense, but they should be used by a DM anyway, as suspension of disbelief is sometimes needed to make the game as fun as possible. The rules in the D&D 5e Player's Handbook aren't intended to accurately reflect reality: they're intended to be the framework for a fun fantasy game. D&D's massive global popularity proves that it does the trick, even if the players need to accept that things won't always make sense.
The reality of the D&D game exists to support the game, which is why everyone walks in increments of 5ft and why rounds of combat last around six seconds. The restrictions will, inevitably, lead to arguments among the DM and the players. These will sometimes manifest in ridiculous demonstrations, with players measuring out 5ft steps, while trying to argue how their character could have totally avoided that attack of opportunity.
