Everything was built from scratch, only paying attention to what felt "D&Dish". Under that process, bonus feats ended up not being core to the idea of a wizard, barely anybody paid attention to the loss of bonus feats during the playtest.The fighter received bonus feats late in the game, call it convergent evolution if you want...edit: also of none of the sorcerer subclasses - with exception of wild magic, but even then it was a kind of sorcerer in 4e- were ever wizard themes. Divine Soul is an evolution of 3e's many sorcerer like divine subclasses like mystic and favored soul, dragon magic comes in part from dragon disciple -a prestige class wizards couldn't qualify for-, but also from 4e's dragon magic sorcerer, Shadow magic is in part an evolution of the tome of magic shadowcaster combined with some of shadow dancer - plus pets-. Storm magic comes from 4e. All failed UA subclasses are the result of "which entry on the MM knocked up grandma?" exploration or wanting to fill the 4 elements in a fluffy way.</blockquote>
