When folks play for a while, they figure out "oh, $#!+, you can get WAY more out of playing a Druid with Natural Spell and a bear pet than without that feat and with a panther pet."It's not some 42069 IQ play where you have to have crunched a thousand spreadsheets and sifted through three dozen supplements and read every guide and yadda yadda yadda. It's literally just being a smart person and paying attention to things that work. That's all it takes. A smart person will want to use the most effective choices available to them, so long as they don't feel the cost of effectiveness is too high. "Play a Cleric instead of a Fighter" is going to be a no-brainer for a lot of casual players, because they aren't attached to the name "Fighter" like forum-goers are!</blockquote>
