[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 6750983, member: 92511"] I guess, I'm kind of of the mind that, if you can survive to higher levels, then, yes, you deserve to have your features "at will" [by proxy]. You've grown in power and experience through play and now have the skill and stamina to pull off X whenever you need to. But at 1st through [I'd go up to around] 8th-10th, where in my experiences practically all play actually happens? You shouldn't be able to "just do it whenever you want." That's a perk/privilege of making it to higher levels, something to work towards, to aspire to :) ...which I thoroughly enjoy and think is a big [and needs to be brought back to a bigger] part of the D&D gaming experience. Obviously, there are things that a class/subclass needs to be able to do, defining things, out the gate or at will. But a good amount of features [I feel, and 5e's "features gained over the course of leveling" supports], as spellcasters get to increase/accrue power over time, need to be able to do that as well even if they aren't spellcasting/magic related. So pretty much everything I design is with that in mind. Obviously, everyone's mmv. [/QUOTE]
