[QUOTE="NaturalZero, post: 8642104, member: 55705"] They make as much sense as the base classes and options that are already there though. You have a 1st level wizard that can shoot magic all day, the guy with ancient dragon blood, an aasimar who is descended from God, and a guy who's made a pact with Satan. But the Arcane Trickster using mage hand at level 1 doesn't make sense? The 1st level Barbarian doesn't worship a totem? I'd definitely like more customization points.
