Message: <blockquote data-quote="Horwath" data-source="post: 8104748" data-attributes="member: 6801299">one problem that 5E has is ASI'sor rather how everything is thrown is the same resource pool. Ability increase, combat feats and exploration/social feats.1st: I would remove bonus abilities per level(like Pillars of eternity) what you have at 1st level, you have it. Except magic bonuses or special class features.make point buy 8-10-12-14-16 with costs 0-1-2-3-5 and pool of 14.make every race give +2 to 2 scores or +2 to one score if they have really STRONG racial features.make every class give +2 to one ability picked from 3 abilities(non stackable with racial bonus)this will give max of 18 to two abilities.then make Extra feats/skill proficiencies level based outside class.I.E:1st level: non-combat feat, combat feat2nd: Extra skill proficiency or tool&language3rd: Extra expertise4th: non-combat feat5th: combat feat6th: Extra skill proficiency or tool&language7th: Extra expertise8th: non-combat feat9th: combat feat10th: Extra skill proficiency or tool&language11th: Extra expertise12th: non-combat feat13th: combat feat14th: Extra skill proficiency or tool&language15th: Extra expertise16th: non-combat feat17th: combat feat18th: Extra skill proficiency or tool&language19th: Extra expertise20th: non-combat featnow that you armed every character with basic combat, exploration and social possibilities(6 non-combat feats, 5 combat feats, 5 extra skill proficiencies outside starting and 5 extra expertise), regardles of class or multi-class combo and you kept ability scores in check(bounded accuracy) you can start balancing out classes, pushing every class in a direction that will excel in it's field.feats should be on current half-feat power level, and I guess we could all agree more or less what goes under combat and what under non-combat feat.</blockquote>
