[QUOTE="CasvalRemDeikun, post: 5946643, member: 83969"] Well, clearly the system does not want me to give you experience, so I am just going to have to agree here. My biggest problem with class reduction is that if a person plays without themes or backgrounds, they wouldn't have access to themes. This leaves people that don't want to play with these things (myself NOT included) totally in the dust. What would be the draw for fans that don't want backgrounds and themes that could play 80% of the classes listed in their beloved game without issue, but now has to either use a subsystem they don't care for, or lose out on half the classes they enjoyed. I am for lots of classes and lots of backgrounds and themes, but I won't compromise on classes. If someone wants to play a game with the Fighter/Rogue/Cleric/Wizard, they can ban everything else, but as someone who loves playing Warlords or Assassins or BARDS (BARDS FOR LIFE!), I should be able to. I had a hard enough time surviving the first year of 4E without the Bard, I won't suffer an entire edition of D&D without them. [/QUOTE]
