[QUOTE="UngeheuerLich, post: 7417075, member: 59057"] I do agree with that. And I would go a bit further: PF gives HP for chosing your race. I would have liked that for 5e too. That way, race + background would make a great 0 level char. I'd also could have accepted it if background gave a very small selection of weapon and armor proficiencies if it was appropriate for that background. That way the soldier would not have to chose gaming sets... ... i can however agree with the designers to not have it as default rule, because of the soldier wizards running around everywhere then.... Instead of the pathfinder playtest or shadow run, I am really looking for warhammer 4e. I know 2nd edition and really love the execution and idea behind the path system. You start with a base class (akin to a background with a low level class combined). Then you need to advance in skills and equippment to multiclass in either an upgrade of your class or a different class. Example: you may start as beggar. You may then become a scout, a thief or a monk. A scout will build on your experience roaming around. The thief is obvious. The monk is a way to escape your poverty and may be you entry class to become a priest (and a spellcaster). So in dnd speech: background. Then adept levels. (1-4) then heroic levels as a new class and so on. [/QUOTE]
