[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 8255819, member: 2209"] It happened a bunch in B/X and AD&D for me. Fighers and magic users being the most common overlaps. My long term 1e campaign though had two CE Grugach assassin brothers with no problem. It only got annoying when I was playing a 2e melee weapon specialized human fighter with a 17 strength alongside a guy who was playing an 18 percentile strength melee specialized human fighter who was a bit of a jerk about it with a bit of PVP threat undercurrent going on. The mechanical similarities with one being flatly superior on their main thing was annoying. I can't remember it really happening in 3e, Pathfinder, 4e, or 5e. Often there is a specific conversation during character creation with intentions to cover certain bases and be different but it is also easier to come up with unique classes in the party when half the core class options are no longer gatekeepered behind stat requirements.
