Why not?? (package deals)

[GrimJesta]

I just reread the article about the differences between 4th and 5th edition, and I found something I really dont like: the package deal discount is gone!

 

Aight, I can see how some might think thats ok, BUT the discount (which is only a few points anyway...) is a nice incentive for people to fit into the campaign world better. For example, sure a player can make a Knight. But if theres a package called Shadow Knight or something, and its a campaign oriented flavor-adding "character class', would you as the GM want people to take that?

 

I dunno. Maybe I just silly. Or on crack. Must be the crack.

The main reason there is no longer a Package Bonus is because Disadvantages all end in 0 or 5 now, and there is no way to account for those extra 1-4 points.

 

Personally I always thought the Package Bonus was stupid. My players never picked one package over another because it saved them 1-4 points. They picked the packages because those were the types of characters they wanted to play. No one ever said: Elf has a 3 point bonus and Dwarf 4, so I will play a Dwarf.
