[QUOTE="sgtscott658, post: 6355561, member: 6777632"] Hi- Picked up the book today from dice dojo and looked it over, even attempted to create a paladin character but gave up after a bit due to the amount of moving parts involved. With 3.5 everything was right there, in 5E it seems class advancement table is in another chapter altogether. Skill advancement is nowhere to be found, I am assuming that once you pick your initial skills thats it no more. The art was ok, but a 1/2 orc pally? Really? A Warlock class? Why not just play a Wizard with a better familiar? Tieflings and Dragon Born? Say it aint so lol. Oh and higher HD for most classes? Essentially creating a full character will be time consuming but on the other hand, you can nix the back round fluff, advantages / disadvantages, second wind and surges to get your game off the ground more quickly. I think WotC wanted to go back to 3.5 but also wanted to sell books, they are after all a publishing company but I will try to work through this version but it is not easy thats for sure but on the other hand, its not like when I picked up 4E and which was totally a different game. With 5E at least, there is a familiarity about it and thats good. As an aside, If have said anything offensive to the entrenched grogs here I do apologize up front and meant not to disrespect anybody here. Scott [/QUOTE]
