[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8520275, member: 18"] It doesn't have to be first level, but I think the current design is both the result and cause of a lot of class issues in 5E, and moving them all to the same level would be extremely helpful. In general it would be good to see faster progression of class features. One of the weaknesses of design of 5E is that it spreads out class features across all 20 levels, despite the designers knowing perfectly well that the vast majority of play in is the L1-10 range, and it's particularly rare for people to play above L15, and nothing about 5E particularly encourages that to change or improve. It's particularly bad design because with 4E it was essentially a solved problem on both fronts - there were both encouragements to play at higher levels, and also more rapid progression of class features in levels 1-10. Both were just outright lost with 5E (4E had other problems at higher levels, but they're separate and unrelated). [/QUOTE]
