[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8854621, member: 6987520"] Yeah, it has sailed for certain, but for the same reason I was never a fan of kits in 2E, either. My groups play 5E, so I am basically stuck with it. Honestly, I commonly just go with the defaults or popular options, but most of the time feel like they are just mechanical benefits which either I don't need or [I]should[/I] be baked into classes. Take Frenzy for the Barbarian Beserker. Why can't [I]any[/I] warrior type use a bonus action to gain an additional attack with the weapon they have when you can make a second weapon attack via TWF and your bonus action. Even if the second attack was with disadvantage if you used your bonus action? It could still involve a level of Exhaustion even if you wanted it to really represent that "extra effort" concept. Another example is Polearm Master. Using your bonus action to make the attack with the other end is hardly different from TWF either. Even using your reaction when a creature enters your reach can be done via the Ready Action on the prior turn. Many other things in subclasses or 5E mechanics should be simply part of the system IMO.
