[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 9503770, member: 7023840"] I'm going to share some notes on my rebuild (just completed, I think... may tinker with one thing)... 1. I ended up with fewer skills, but that may just be because some of my prior choices (Phantom Rogue, Hexblade) came with skills. I can't say that this is an accurate observation, but it seems like 5e24 has more of a premium on getting skills? 2. The origin feats are interesting, but limited and too few (IMO). I have the feeling that they will be expanding the list. I love that they have origin feats now, but I think that this is one area to watch- people are going to want more, and if they don't pay attention, this will lead to power creep quickly. 3. I kept to the subclasses offered in the PHB (swapped hexblade for fiend patron and phantom rogue for assassin rogue). I think that the following two things are true- first, that 5e24 is ... [I]good[/I]. The reworking of the 5e chassis has improved a lot of things, and it is a lot cleaner- they saw what worked, and what didn't, and made good changes. [I]However, [/I]5e14 had 10 years of expansion material - from Tasha's to all the changes and options in various books, and 5e24 doesn't have that. [I]Yet[/I]. Which means that there can be some frustrating gaps- but it's not fair to compare 5e24 to 5e14 with all materials. 5e24 is, IMO, much better than 5e14 PHB only. [/QUOTE]
