[QUOTE="Magil, post: 6019026, member: 6672353"] Depends on what you mean by "significant." I don't think being able to choose a feat for my DnD Next fighter makes the choice of fighting style less significant, nor its choice of background. In theory, yes, if you have a class that is defined purely by a single choice, then yes, that would be a more significant choice than a class that is defined by three choices, from a certain point of view. But I'd also never want to see a class that is wholly defined by a single choice. In fact I'd say the choice is less interesting, because while it defines the class, it at the same time sacrifices a lot of potential for variability. It's one of the reasons that, at some point, I hope the Next fighter is allowed to pick maneuvers on an individual basis rather than being confined to "fighting styles," though I don't have a problem with the styles existing.
