Echo Knight is neither PHB nor even from the same campaign setting, so perhaps set that one aside for now.

I would have liked the revised Ranger and Gloom Stalker. They are overpowered too, whereas BG3 Rangers seems...very strong but somewhat balanced wink



The problem is that standard human is underpowered as a race. Classes are not balanced around needing +1 in all abilities, so at least 3 of those will be essentially going to waste, and there's no other compensation.

If Larian wants, they can disable certain of the more powerful Feats until a character reaches level 4, which is when anyone could have potentially one of those anyway.
