| Off topic, but this thread finally got me moving on a character idea I had been throwing around for a few weeks. I'd like to try out a Hybrid Beastmaster, and the class that seems to fit that best, or at least the one that fits the playstyle I like best, is the Warlord. I like it:

Hybrid rules absolutely let you explore the cracks between character roles. I'd like to see them used more for that, then as excuses to massively break the game.
