[QUOTE="Calico_Jack73, post: 1523946, member: 14403"] Time for my $0.02... One of the things I LIKED about WHFRP was that sure, you could choose your overall profession but it still came down to the luck of the roll on where you actually started. If you wanted to play a Wizard you'd pick the Scholar class and roll on that list for starting careers. More often than not you'd get something besides what you really wanted but could then use your career exits to eventually get where you wanted. I don't think your average D&D player would like such a mechanic. WOTC removed racial limitations and Prime Reqs from all their classes to allow almost unlimited flexibility. Really alignment requirements are the only limiting factor now in basic character generation (Barbarians needing to be Chaotic, Monks being Lawful, Druids being Neutral in some fashion, etc). The career path system really set WHFRP apart from D&D for me. Doing away with it would make it just a D&D game set in the WHFRP setting. [/QUOTE]
