[QUOTE="Enevhar Aldarion, post: 7540463, member: 6818233"] Multiclassing in two caster classes is annoying, as others have stated. The total removal of penalties/loss of powers for violating oaths/going against their deity/changing to a non-compatible alignment/etc. They could have at least put in optional rules for these in the DMG or as sidebars in the PHB. I know they want 5E to be all-inclusive and let anyone be anything with no negatives and award trophies just for participating, but some things still need to be available for us older school players/DMs. Speaking of alignment, I dislike how they made it almost meaningless in 5E. Sure, in older editions it did carry too much weight, but in 5E it is too light. And finally, one of the things that kept me from 4E was the mass of unlimited, at-will powers/abilities/spells. If I want this, I will go play a video game, or maybe a superhero RPG where this makes more sense. I can modify or houserule most anything else in 5E that I have mentioned, but this is so baked into the system that I may as well not play 5E if I want to change this to being limited in uses per day.
