To an extent, part of the function of a class is to give you action declarations that are superior to the generic ones available to everyone.* My sense of AW, at least, is that this sort of thing is not a generic feature of playbooks. Even when they give new moves, this is often (not always) a way to do an existing move differently - eg using a different stat, or a brainer using telepathy to "go aggro". The basic moves don't generally get superseded by playbook moves.Also, because AW doesn't have a fiddly action economy like modern D&D does, you don't get class abilities like Cunning Action or Action Surge or Flurry of Blows or Extra Attack that are all about playing with the action economy.I don't know if this way of looking at it makes sense to anyone else.</blockquote>
