[QUOTE="Parmandur, post: 9504239, member: 6780330"] Obviously, to help new players make effective characters by following narrative tropes: that'swhybthe PHB says "if you have another 5E book already, juat choose whicher ASI and Feat you want" it'sabout new players. Crawford said that people wanted more limitations than the Tasha's style they tried in the UA, and the more limited (but not really) ASI choices seem to fit the bill, since they can be changed easily. Even without customizing Baclgrounds, however, and using the Standard Array (yuck, but it is an option besides normal rolling...and just last week my wife seriously, no joke, rolled the Standard Array in character generation, so...) and following rhe PHB's guidance to go ahead and start at Level 4...a Human Farmer Wizard with the Skilled Feat plus Keen Mind at 5th is a very effective Wizard with 16 Intelligence who will have a couple Intelligence based Skill Expertises...so much for Classism.
