The challenge is in the fiction abilities / flags. Being a champion fighter is character-defining. Champion fighters are a certain sort of character and, in addition to their combat prowess, have elements spread out over 20 levels that enhance that "personality." Being a squire-knight-dragonslayer-war king is less one narrative and more four different narratives, and each one has less room to breathe in terms of class abilities. They also don't necessarily play nice together mechanically - one price might be that you'd have to limit novel class mechanics so that they could fit together (no "one class has spellcasting / one class has pact magic" stuff). I don't think these are insurmountable challenges, but I do think the class system will look very different than the existing 5e class system, and I'm not totally sure they'd play well together (ie, if someone played a Champion Fighter in the same campaign as a squire-knight-dragonslayer-war king, I dunno that would work....), so it might be a situation where you replace the class system in 5e (which is a big part of the game!) with this system (and maybe another system or two)...which makes it a bridge too far for a lot of folks to absorb. But I'd love to hear about any experiments you do in this avenue. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
