Here's a quick sample of the choices I might make, up to level 10. Some work better than others.Some lose nothing:Warlock: Pact Magic, Invocations, Patron-Level 1 feature, ASI, Pact Boon, Patron-Level 6 feature, Expanded Spell list, ASI, (nothing to choose), Patron-Level 10 feature.--> Warlock gets everything, even extended spell list, and has a slot to spare at level 9.Wizard: Spellcasting, Tradition ability, Arcane Recovery, ASI, Savant, Tradition, (nothing to choose), ASI, (nothing to choose), Tradition Feature.--> Wizards get everything, even savant, and has two spare slots. At a minimum, this would suggest that cantrips, spells, and ritual casting should all be separate choices.Sorcerer: Spellcasting, font, Metamagic, ASI, level 1 origin ability, level 6 origin ability, (nothing to choose), ASI, (nothing to choose), (nothing to choose?)--> Again, a spellcaster gets everything, and possibly has three dead levels (would the extra metamagic skil copme online automatically since it was chosen at level 3 and is part of the same ability? presumably).Some lose a lot:Monk: Martial Arts, Unarmored Defense, Ki, ASI/Feat, Extra Attack, Ki-Empowered Strikes, Evasion, ASI, Stunning Strike, Unarmored Movement (and the improvement it gets at level 9).--> The monk loses a lot of defining features; Stunning Smite comes online late, but I think Ki-empowered Strikes is just too important to remain viable. No subclass features were even in the running.Paladin: Lay on Hands, Spellcasting, Divine Smite, ASI, Extra Attack, Aura of Protection, Channel Divinity, ASI, Fighting Style, Aura of Courage.--> T use divine smite means needing spellcasting first, so there's a big investment early that delays picking up a channel divinity and fighting style. Again, no subclass features selected, though the aura at 7 would be a reasonable possibility (making fighting style not in the running for the first ten levels).Rogue, Ranger, Fighter, are all losing out on abilities too.</blockquote>
