[QUOTE="Ovarwa, post: 7204982, member: 75153"] They aren't shooting themselves in the foot because all of this diversity is meh. So it doesn't matter what he chooses. Unless, of course, he chooses to take a class that gets cool abilities instead of rubbish ASIs. A player who wants diversity is obviously better off with Feats. Sure, that Battlemaster longbowman is going to take Sharpshooter and Dex 20. Now he's all of level 8, with 4 ASIs remaining. He *could* boost Con, but if he's in a skill-heavy campaign, he might prefer to become proficient in 3 of them. He might want to become Alert. He might want one of the healing feats. That's real diversity. Feats are the reason Fighters in D&D5 are actually good, because they let him do everything he needs to do *and* have room for customization beyond the narrow confines of his class. Your argument that taking away character options makes them more diverse seems strange to me. Anyway, Ken [/QUOTE]
