@kensanata Sounds fine. Honestly as long as you are in the same tier as everyone else you should be fine. And the basic races/classes/backgrounds are all from the PHB. The basic rules don't include feats, but less than 1/5th of my characters, or characters in games I run, have feats. Even racial ability adjustments are not a big optimizer if you are using the standard array. And anyone who turns their nose up at the "build efficiency" of a Life Cleric or Evoker is an idiot.
