On the other hand, the sheer number of choices available would be daunting for new players, so some sort of middle ground would be preferable.I think every ability, including spellcasting etc., should be 'bought' at character creation and when you gain a level you can 'buy' whatever you like (and the DM allows.) The classes should be 'standard archetype packages' that new players can choose, which gives them every ability they need, and tells them how it works, including the standard choices to pick when you level up.This way experienced players can costumize as much as they like, and new players can jump right in, by chosing one of the 'standard archetype packages.'darklight</blockquote>
