[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7186429, member: 996"] Backgrounds could use some more meat - right now they're between 4e Backgrounds and 4e Themes, that way, and they could easily go all the way to a Theme level of meatiness. ;) Particularly in having options to grow with level like Themes could (Themes did it with the odd feature and with substitution utility powers, but I'm sure 5e could come up with something...) And, I still have a soft spot for the elegant, customizable design of the 3.0 fighter, so I have to say you could distinguish one of those fighters from another better - and working within the class, itself - than you can with the class in 5e. Throw backgrounds and MCing into it, and it's closer, but 3e still comes out ahead, just more options and more customizability. Of course, all that is hampered by the 3e fighter languishing in Tier 5 the whole time. ;( That'd be a great way to get a Background to grow with the character as he leveled. [/QUOTE]
