[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 8456099, member: 6790260"] I run a Dungeon World game rather than 5e, but this actually is a recommendation from the authors. DW classes ("playbooks") are very focused and depend heavily on their core features. It'll feel really, REALLY obvious that you have two identical classes if people are playing the same thing. That doesn't mean you can't have two [I]similar[/I] things, just means you want to find either supplementary or 3rd party playbooks for players to use. E.g. if I had two people wanting to play Wizards, I might see if one would go for Illusionist and the other for Arcane Duelist or Conjurer or the like. For my game, it ended up just being, "hey guys, can you play distinct classes? Thanks." Our Bard had a while where they wished they'd gotten to play a Ranger (someone beat them to the punch) but now they can't imagine playing anything else, so folks are generally happy. (I also have leaned into letting said bard branch out into new fields, which helps alleviate the concerns.) [/QUOTE]
