[QUOTE="Walking Dad, post: 6116049, member: 59043"] I know skills and feats are in the playtest. But should they be a core part or part of some advanced ruleset? For my understanding, multiclassing should be a core concept instead, with taking levels in a class representing training in the individual "methods" (skill, combat, magic). If a player wants to be able to sneak, he should take levels in a class that can (like AD&D 2nd rogue & ranger in the core rules - currently not sure if the bard could, too). If they absolutely want to make totally customizable characters, they have to abandon the Class system altogether. Please mind you that I like all the fiddly feat and skill stuff, I just don't see the need to have it at the simplest form of the game, like feats being a class feature. I sometimes run games for my kids or total rpg novices and feats and skills are only making the game more complicated for them. Or have they abandoned the plan of a tiered complexity? [/QUOTE]
