[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 7799874, member: 1465"] I think that the PrCl mechanics would fit in 5e without a problem, and could be useful to represent some special archetypes that make sense across multiple (not necessarily all, but also) classes. PrCls arent a thing in 5e only because they were largely abused in 3e and people are afraid the same thing would happen again in 5e. But it's not happening with subclasses (not within official material), so it probably also won't happen with PrCls. All that WotC would need to do is keep the publishing pace slow, and add a simple rule that limits PrCls to 1 per character, or limit them somehow by tier. Either way the problem has never been PrCl mechanics but rather having hundreds of them available and letting players go PrCl-shopping and stack multiple of them just to reap their benefits with zero regard to their narrative.
