Only created characters, but the creation was fun, although not so different. New background and ability system was greatly appreciated. At our table it made much more sense to have get bonuses for ability scores based on actual working and life experience. The illustrations also had a bigger impact than I thought on imaging the character and incorporating the background into the roleplaying information. Its a shame though that ideals/bonds/flaws were cut, but its easy to use the according ones from 2014 which some of us did.Starting equipment was also a bigger decision than usual due to weapon masteries our barb and ranger player seemed to had lot of fun to skim through the equipment section and decide on their weapon.Our ranger player had one weird observation though: Appereantly the recommended starter weapon for rangers is the longbow, which has the heavy property, which requires the character to have STR of 13+ - but the recommended STR score for rangers is 12. So appereantly if you stick to the recommendations in building a ranger you end up with a weapon you can't use RAW. Seems like a typical small error that gets fixed in an errandum, our DM just allowed him to use the longbow anyway.Really looking forward to the first session in 2 weeks for some actual gameplay!</blockquote>
