I have had 4 posts thus far on our Obsidian Portal page about what Feat to take. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":-)" title="Smile    :-)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":-)" /> They are very excited about leveling up. They were gifted a group of holy warriors with a Paladin commander, thus they have been leveling a tad slower than normal, so they are VERY excited about leveling up. in 5e you do GET something every level and the choice you make at 3rd significantly informs later abilities. It's not so complicated as to require a weekend with your personal mathematician it just offers some great simple choices that are fun in play. If you are talking about in-game power? Absolutely. You can frankly make in game connections, allies, NPCs, relationships, and reputation important in any game. I do! I think it brings the world alive. The connections the characters make in my game are important. I reward players with clues, items and information when they foster those relationships. Those holy warriors? The priest took on a task from the Bishop and has been working with him. When the evil appeared in the sewers below the city he absolutely insisted Father Solais took a contingent of the church's guard with him.I plan on using the Adventurer, Conqueror, King's rules for building a kingdom, church, or wizard's dungeon in the future. There's some great stuff in there. Eventually, I think you would have the higher level characters found a kingdom and generate some new characters to adventure and then say once every three adventures, pull out the higher level characters for some epic quest to save the world, help a godling, etc. I think it could offer a fun way to try new classes while still developing a character up to the highest levels (it also should cut me some slack, as I am certain running a higher level adventure will be a little more "at the table" work for me as the DM).</blockquote>
