[QUOTE="Corinnguard, post: 9342659, member: 7033886"] I prefer A5e over 5e because it adds an additional layer of customization to just about everything in 5e IMO. In 5e, you have Race/Subrace, Background and Class/Subclass. A5e otoh has Heritage, Culture, Background, Destiny, Class and Class Archetype. And with regards to Class, A5e Classes have more options to choose from in addition to the Class Archetype, so you don't feel like you have to multiclass in order to get something at every level. But if you do decide to multiclass, you have the synergy feat chains to give you something that makes up for one of the downsides to multiclassing. The pushback of certain class features to a later level. As for 5e, it's okay. But I haven't invested much into it. I have a few 5e books, mostly it's Monster Manuals. I don't own it's PHB. Any 5e PHB info I want to look up comes straight from 5ewikidot.com or D&D Beyond. As for A5e, I have it's Adventurer's Guide, Monstrous Menagerie 1, it's 2022 GPG Annual and several related 3pp material (Paranormal Power, MoAR: Complete, The Multiclasser Manual Vol. 1). I am waiting to get my copy of the 2023 GPG Annual. :) [/QUOTE]
