[QUOTE="UngeheuerLich, post: 9259200, member: 59057"] You know that is not what they said or mean. I have played with many new players and it is not about stupidity but about uninformed decisions. I'd even say that it is actually a sign of taking new players serious as giving them the chance to learn how their characters play and then make an informed decision themselves. What I heard was proposals to just chose the subclass for new players at level 1 as a DM. This is patronizing. And I as an experienced player and DM like the descision point pushed back to 3rd level, as I can also make more informed decisions about my character. I hate doing everything on the drawing board. Actually I'd love a level 0 instead of full hp at level 1. For me the best progression would be: Level 0: chose race and background feat. Level 1: Chose class. Level 2: Chose subclass. (yeah in the happy middle between your preference and wotc.) Level 3: Get an important optional feature of the class (like warlock choice of pact), fighting style etc. I hate that. Yes. It should be limit to 18 before level 19 and then you are allowed to go up to 20 then. I really don't know why they want to push ability scores that high... [/QUOTE]
