[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 9235072, member: 87792"] YMMV. The only class I've played in all of 3.5, 4e, and 5e is artificer. (For the record: 3.5 Artificer: incredibly broken and infusions of Bane weapon should have never been allowed as the tip of the iceberg, 4e artificer fails at the class fantasy (rare for 4e), 5e artificer: undercooked and underpowered, with battlesmith being the only decent one although artillerist works in some campaigns). You don't need to be that focused, although the only reason I didn't play the wolfpack druid in 3.5 (bears are stronger) is wildshape comes so late. 3.5 breaks in my hands As for summoning, one of the only two PF1e characters I've played was a summoner who used their Eidolon of their dead sister as a scout. It looked interesting - but again using only core options and with my instincts the only time a PC died while I was there was a Darwin Award, while we lost one every session I missed. In MMOs I normally reach for pet classes. Which reminds me - fun 5e character I never quite got to play: Rex. Rex thought that every pack needed a human, and when theirs died he was going to try and take on the role; Rex was a literal golden retriever with brains and temperament to match. (Wild shape at level 2 rather than 5 opens things up a lot) Probably just as well... But xp costs are trivial. Which can be easy ... or even more OP as with that sort of endurance it's an incredibly different session when they are there and when they aren't. You got lucky. As I say, literal core option and all wizards get given scribe spell Do your groups even buy wands of CLW? [/QUOTE]
