[QUOTE="JohnLynch, post: 7686012, member: 6749563"] I think we're going to have to agree to disagree. The fact [some|most] 2e fans turn out to be happy with 5e feats after the book was published does not change the reason this design decision was made before the book was published. This is not relevant to the point I was making. You are making my point for me. Before 4e characters at level 1 were weaker than 4e level 1 characters were. 4e was considered after the fact to be an unsuccessful edition by the designers who created 5e. When deciding how to make a new edition that would please fans of 3e and earlier they decided to go with a power level that was closer to earlier editions instead of going with a power level that was closer to 4e. This was done because it was believed more fans would be happier with this approach. Therefore characters in 5e are at the power level they are at level 1 to please those fans who liked earlier editions of D&D and disliked 4e. None if this is intended as judgement, but merely a recitation of facts. But we can agree to disagree on this point as well (although to be honest we don't seem to disagree. Perhaps the way I'm communicating my point is simply unclear). [/QUOTE]
