The second is certainly not narrowed down. The first of course it is, but I'm trying to tell you that the PHB etc. are going to be full of usable stuff, and yet of course it's limited. It cannot be otherwise. So if you want variety in a certain area, you have to accept less in another. You can't say 5e "doesn't support variety" or "doesn't support options" (what the hell does it mean anyway?). It just doesn't have all the things you wanted out of the box. I personally wished for many more subclasses and feats to increase PC variety, but didn't get them, so I can say 5e at the moment doesn't support enough variety in feats, but as a whole there's still 320 pages of variety. And still a much more flexible system overall compared to previous editions.As for settings, once again the PHB supports as much as it can with its 320 pages. Can you play FR with the PHB? Yes you can (even with Basic you can), nothing there prevents you to do so. Does it give you enough crunch to create mechanically different Clerics for 20 FR deities? Sadly no, but if it did, then it had to give somebody else something less.In the meantime, while you're waiting for a FR sourcebook, try to play with what you have or make your own stuff like in the good old days.</blockquote>
