Those systems. And that's WONDERFUL...for those games/systems. Give me one reason why "bescause they do it D&D should too."That would seem to be a reason to not play those systems.I'm not questioning that. I'm questioning why that should, then, become something for D&D?I've reread this several times...and no. I see no difference here. If they're trained in horse archery...why can't they shoot from the back of a horse with good accuracy?Why would that be? Both have horse archery. And every character can do that...I'm clearly missing/misunderstanding something.Seriously? Is this serious question or should I be reading it as sarcasm? I've had a [Caution: hyperbole coming] HUNDREDS of mage characters, rogue characters, cleric characters...ok, maybe only dozen or so Fighter characters, but still...ALL of them are different characters. Personalities. Fighting styles/tactical preferences. Spell choices that lead to different styles of play/character concept. Deity choices (which lead to spell and RP choices) that lead to different styles of play. I have NO problem whatsoever making different characters...even if almost all of the abilitiy & skill choices are the same. THAT'S playing a ROLE-playing game. My character is not my class. He/she may be largely dictated as to what he/she can do. But the characters are HARDly "the same." I have no problem whatsoever imagining "two characters with the same class" being vastly different.I think we will just agree to disagree here. As with practically everything in D&D, it's a matter of preference and play style. I will not see the attributes of your preferences and play style as "better"...and you won't see mine as "better." And that's OK! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
