[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 9335233, member: 6801228"] Eh, you know what, just for fun. Using the OneDnD playtests as a baseline, I am going to go for some maximum number of combos at level 1, ignoring skills and feats. Classes: 12 Subclasses: 4 Sample Backgrounds: 18 [technically the number of backgrounds are ridiculous, because the default is custom, but I'll just go printed] Distinct Species: 9 What if we do sub-species instead: 28 So, that is between 7,776 and 24,192 options depending on how you count things. Again, just for fun. 3.5 PHB Races: 7 Classes: 11 Add in Cleric Domains: 21 options, can pick two each... I think this is 231 combinations. Wizard School specialization: 9 options base (don't specialize, plus each school) each specialization gives up 2 schools except Divination, which is 21 combos each time, so.. 169 options? How do I even calculate this... let's take 7x9 = 63 7x231 = 1,617 7x169 = 1,183 So that is between 77 and 2,863 options, depending on how you count things. Now, I could try and add in skills. It is a little bit of a nightmare, but I could, same with feats... but seeing that the low-end of 2024 is looking to have double the high-end of 3.5? I don't think going through all that would make a huge difference in the end results [/QUOTE]
