There are some small things:- Some classes like sorcerers need to have access to good spells which not all arcana might provide- some arcana have abilities which need a certain stat. So specific combinations might not fit a certain class since its not a primary ability.- some combinations might be better than intended. (I dont have all abilities in heart but in theory now or in the future with more arcanas Thete could definitly be possible combinations which by choice where put not together. (Like if you could pay 1 stress for 1 hope and 1 hope for 1 stress + something on top). Anyway if you do make combinations you can make sure this does not happen (but its a bit of work of course).Overall I think having some fixed classes and combinations (by the game or preselected by you) has some advantages over completly freedom:- it makes it easier for players they dont need to look up every possible combination- it makes sure classes and with it different players choice feel distinct from each other - it makes it slightly easier to communicate what you do to others. My experienceAbout daggerheart in general: I recently played a level 1 one shot with it and it was fun. I was playing a sorcerer and we were a group of 5+ gm. No one except the GM ever played daggerheart (GM played once but was the first time GMing). One player in our group was even new to TTRPGs (she played 2 one shots before but also a while ago).It worked really well, was overall fast explained, people could easy follow and we had some really cool moments. The GM was also way above average for a GM which of course helped a lot to make it enjoyable. I Dont know how fast levelup is in daggerheart, but unless its super fast (like after this session directly a levelup) I feer I would be bored really fast with a daggerheart character.I already was a bit bored of my combat gameplay at the end of the one shot. And that even though the sorcerer (also with the free minor illusion) has more special abilities to use than an average character.</blockquote>
