[QUOTE="Velmont, post: 5098542, member: 13739"] Assassin is an exception over the general rule, and an exception made by WotC itself. Assassin is a preview of the PHB3 released for people who have bought D&DI. It was not a [U]playtest[/U]. Sure, there will be some errata over time, like all materials, but the change we can expect should be little. Hybrid, just like Psion, Ardent, Monk, Skill powers, etc... are all playtest materials. That means we can expect to have huge change over time. Personally, I think it is always hard to remove something people already have than give them after we make sure it good. Let's just see the Minotaur, even if everyone tells it is broken to have them wielding oversized weapon, there is still a few of them in L4W. Now, with PHB3 releasing the Minotaur race with feats and etc... what will happen? It's not perfect, we just need to look at the Battlerager or more recently at the pacifist healer, who both saw themselves being nerfed more than once because they were too strong compare to others. It is always frustrating for players to get nerfed. At first sight, I would think Hybrid are not broken, I would say even a bit weak, but I don't like the idea to create exception, neither to give playtesting material. And the problem with playtesting material is WotC will released the correction only with the sourcebook, and that's what happening with the hybrid classes, they were released very early compare to the PHB3.
