Message: <blockquote data-quote="nnms" data-source="post: 6348017" data-attributes="member: 83293">Of the classes we have seen so far, are there enough class features front loaded at level 1 that anyone who wants a non-magic ranger can take it for a level or two and then switch to multiclassing rogue or fighter?  Or have class features been too distributed across all levels?The main issue as I see it is this:  We all have ideas in our head about what a given class should be.  And to a degree everyone is going to find something about some class that doesn't match what the given person wants that class to be.  I for one, don't like rage focus of barbarians.  I've never seen going into a berzerker rage as the defining act of a barbarian type character in any fantasy fiction.  Often they are the most level headed and cold in their violence.  So I have to deal with barbarians being explicitly rage focused in 5E.  What are my options?- Find a way to cobble together other classes and multiclassing, background and maybe feats to make the kind of character I would want that I feel is not represented by the rules.- Find a third party take on the class that does represent it my way.- Write such a class myself from scratch- House rule the existing one to give it something else in favour of the class feature we don't want.- Find another game to play that doesn't "get it wrong"It sucks if your favorite class from previous editions isn't quite represented the way you would like it.  I get that.  The question is what's your plan to deal with it?  The PHB is in print and they're not going to change it for your preferences now.  It's done.</blockquote>
