[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9231876, member: 7030563"] It was because the mechanics availabel through subclass are unique and not available to any other character at all and those were the mechancis I used in play. Further a different subclass or even class could not be played that way. To provide another example - all Paladins are proficient in Longbows and Leather Armor. That does not mean all Paladins are going use Longbows or wear Leather Armor, even though they get the "Mechanics" to be effective with those things and a Paladin using a Longbow as his primary weapon is abnormal. Yet they all get the mechanics to do it effectively! But you are limited in actions and being available does not mean being used and subclass abilities are usually unique. I had lots of jhigh level spells available on my Bladesinger, but False Life is usually what I used her high level slots for, and while that is available to any Wizard and to several other classes, it was her extremely high AC due to bladesong and her ability to mitigate damage through Song of Defense that made such a use of false life effective.
