That said, I'm still waiting until I can see the exact mechanical implementation and the available Theme choices before I really get excited. To be honest, Class is the one thing that has been handled well so far in D&D. Even Race, with its long history, still exists in a troubled niche where it should be important and interesting, but ultimately it is not terribly interesting and is only important in ways that it shouldn't be. If Theme turns out to be as bad as Race has been in the last few editions, then I'm not exactly going to be thrilled.Of course, if 5E managed to both improve Race to the point where it would be meaningful and fun (according to my standards), and Theme is equally interesting, then I will be very happy to praise it. I love the idea of "Knight" being something you can add on to any class. I'm curious if they can come up with mechanics to make that kind of theme work well, and other Themes that can match that quality. If they do, then it will add a lot of good stuff to character creation.</blockquote>
