[QUOTE="tombowings, post: 9739357, member: 56324"] I totally disagree. Homebrewers have hacked 5e to fix a huge number of settings. All it require it for the core game to come with options built in. The game might have 15-ish classes, but with the assumption that only 4-12 will be used in any given game where they fit the milieu. Different magic-using classes would have different magic systems that fit different settings; Sub-classes could be built with different fantasy genres in mind (spellcasting would become a ranger sub-class, for example). Again, not every sub-class would be available in every game.
