I didn't get a chance to read it yet, but whoah, there's charts and everything. Looks like a lot of advice.

I'm not sure, either, but I was noticing that the PHB2 classes are all designed along the same lines as the Rogue and Warlord, instead of along the same lines as the Cleric and Paladin.I liked the A vs V shaped terminology for class designs.
(A classes have one primary stat, V classes have two, depending on the build direction you take).
I wonder if this was a term the designers always used internally, or the author made up for this article to describe it.
That would be another strength of designing classes this way, IMHO.I seem to have read somewhere that they are considering adding a third secondary score to some of the A type classes. That could be interesting for some concepts.
