me: okay so instead of being an expert charismatic tinkerer with a dragonfly, I'll be an unskilled charismatic wizard instead?
5e: yes - but also you can't be charismatic or you'll be underpowered
me: what?
5e: this is a carefully-balanced RPG, remember? if you're overpowered you'll overshadow all of the other players and they'll resent you. if you're underpowered you might *permanently die* and even if you don't you'll be a drain on the other players' resources and they'll resent you
me: okay so instead of being charismatic I'll be...
5e: you'll be dextrous and intelligent. that is the only valid character option if you want to be at an appropriate power level
me: anything else I need to know?
5e: 50% of this game is going to feel like filling out tax paperwork to you - and in the other 50% you'll be forced to roleplay as a character that has almost no resemblance to the one you wanted to make
