[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 6543674, member: 18182"] Heh, I'm responding twice as I have a different point, didn't want to confuse the two. The idea that you *can't* create the character you want due to a lack of sourcebooks is, IMO, rather silly. Sourcebooks don't provide you *necessary* options to realize your dream character, they provide options that inspire new character ideas. Ideally, anyhow. Of course, if you had a neat character from 3E using options that don't exist in 5E, at least not yet, then you have a conundrum, but not a difficult one. Either make up a NEW character totally different from the one you played before, or find a way to represent that old character with existing options and your IMAGINATION! Work with your DM and make a new race, background, subclass, or feat! In 5E, it's really easy! The only way to *solve* your problem with splat is for WotC to immediately produce 5E versions of EVERYTHING they have ever published for D&D!!! Which, of course, isn't remotely practical. Anything in-between their existing, minimalist strategy and producing EVERYTHING simply makes a subset of fans happy and leaves another subset saying, "Where's my Complete Tiefling splat?" [/QUOTE]
