So you dont like having a "build" that you like? You prefer it being built for you? So you are telling me you use Wyll as a melee rapier character, he was clearly given martial proficiency in Rapier?

I do not look at my character as a build? I look at him as a person. I use skills and abilities base on what make sense for the character not the min/max provided by tables in a game system.

I prefer the older single class system because in that system each character had a role, a purpose. We developed team work and as our characters grew they grew into the role they were classed to play. Todays RPGs are to homogenized, each character has way to much cross over and are basically MINOR variants to the same.

This is of course my opinion and that is the great thing, you can play the way you like.
