Go back to only ASI. Extra Origin, Specialization,  or Epic Boon are bonuses from the DM, alternative treasure, downtime or stronghold bonuses, or setting assumptions (bonus Origin feat in Dark Sun. Dragon mark feats in Eberron.)Classes, subclasses, and species are streamlined and sped up. If you want to have tons of options on your turn, there are High Complexity classes like wizard or druid for those who can handle it.Let's stop handing the slow player the complex wizard if they want to be a magic person dangnabbit. Let's make a cantrip caster. Let's put the pressure on the slot caster to know their stuff and be fast. Thats how I'd design the game.</blockquote>
