[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 9020262, member: 54629"] As an aside, one reason I [I]like [/I]that WotC appears to be moving towards making all classes gain their subclass at 3rd level with the One D&D revision is that it puts them all on a level playing field in that regard. I feel like gaining your subclass should be an important in-game story event, and it can be awkward when some PCs might start off already having their subclass, others gain theirs at 2nd level, and the rest gain theirs at 3rd. If they all gain them at the same time, then you can build it in as a kind of rite of passage type thing. So in the context of the above campaign, I could put together a starting adventure that covers levels 1 and 2 and is about the PCs proving themselves as full-fledged adult members of the tribe. Should they successfully complete the quest, they are formally inducted into their chosen specialties as part of their "coming of age" ceremony or whatever. (One thing that bugs me about the standard 5e rush to get PCs to level 3 is people gaining their subclass in the midst of an adventure. It's hard to have it be a momentous event if the PCs are trying to escape a haunted house or defend a village from attack or the like.) [/QUOTE]
