[QUOTE="Corinnguard, post: 9337278, member: 7033886"] Whereas in Pathfinder 1st Edition, you were given the choice of playing the base class or playing one of the many archetypes of the base class. So you could be a Fighter and work your way through the picking of general or combat feats to meet whatever concept you had in mind. Or you could pick up a Fighter archetype such as Archer or Two-Weapon Warrior that had their own set of alternate class features for pretty much the same reason. Before I was invited by my friend and DM to play 5e, I actually liked this feature in PF1 over what 5e had with it's subclasses. I felt, at the time, that what 5e had was a tad too restrictive. However, now that I have had over 2 years of experience playing 5e, I am okay dealing with how the subclasses work. As mentioned previously in this thread, there is less choice paralysis and less choice regret. The classes in 5e need more features though. 😋 Which is why I like the Level Up versions of the classes better. ;) The classes in Level Up and in Pathfinder 1st edition encourage you to stick with a single class in order to get all of the good perks. ;) And if you do feel like multiclassing in Level Up, the RPG gives you Synergy Feat Chains (the Level Up equivalent of Prestige Classes) to look at.
