[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 5927806, member: 7006"] Basically, what I think you're advocating is just grouping together the abilities and features you get from your class into distinct chunks that all tied together thematically. Which it seems to me actually already is partially in place for at least one of the other classes-- the cleric. The abilities/spells of two clerics in the playtest ARE different, based upon the god (domain) they each serve. The Moradin spell list appears different than the Pelor, and he gets stronger armor/bigger weapons than the Pelor. I also would not be surprised if the Channel Divinity spells they get later on (past [I]Turn Undead[/I]) are different for each domain too. So the question then comes down to whether the wizards need their Schools highlighted at Level 1 with their spells split up that early (or whether they can just wait until taking a spell school Advanced Theme at Level 6)? And for the fighters... Mearls and Crawford have stated they are now thinking about maybe giving them a second Theme (aka more feats). Which might very well would appear under the 'Class' column (looking at the playtest character sheets) rather than the 'Theme' column. So the same way the Rogue's skills are appearing half under Background and half under Class... the Fighter's feats would appear half under Theme and half under Class. So basically... it's possibly leaning in the direction you're advocating already. [/QUOTE]
