I do not get along well with the multitude of classes which now get thrown at the Players.
I much rather would see some more conversion help: It is still not resolved how to get a halfgiant or thrikreen ready to be a PC character, or any 1-20 rules for psionics (much needed for DS and Eberron), the artificer still does not feel right.
