[QUOTE="ClaytonCross, post: 8245364, member: 6880599"] I never played 4e, I played a lot of 5e, 3e, and 3.5e. But the selectable features are highly used in 5e and well liked. Totem Barbarians, Rune Knights, etc more and more selective features like the artificer and warlock have. I would not mind if the classes were all rebuilt under that design. Even 3e / 3.5e had a lot of feature choices which is how I ended up with duel wielding ranger I loved, while my brother had an ranger archer who also carried a katana. I heard 4e sucked, but I also know some loved it. Did they implement like artificers and warlocks? Its not new to D&D at any rate. I like the idea of making feats general level feature selections that can replace class feature you don't like. I also like warlock invocations being specific to that class, and other invocations being restricted to the warlocks pact. I am just suggesting one step further and make the subclass features also selectable. So you could still have a "subclass category" but it would just let you choose features with the subclass as a prerequisite. This would mean you could take a "feat", warlock invocation, or "subclass category" invocation. I currently end up with features that don't fit my character concept or that I just don't like because I want the rest of the subclass bundle. [/QUOTE]
