Looks like my ideal ranger did not make it, but with Oath of the Ancients and Eldritch Knight in the game I can see why ranger spell casting is getting downplayed. As long as they add a woodsman background I will be happy.

Wanna show the dragon who is the night.
My one sad thought: a diplomatic, fast-talking merchant rogue subclass. Who remembers Silk, from the Belgariad? To me, Silk is the quintessential rogue, thoigh I rarely see his character expressed mechanically...
But, hey, kudos to the fifth edition design team. I'm excited!
I am shocked that they didn't include either the Thug Fighter or Brute Rogue. Both are iconic in 3e and 4e.
No, but its not very needed. Specializing gives you some extra powers and a bonus to a certain school, but no limitation on schools available. So invokers can use spells from all eight schools, they just get a bonus to one type of magic that they tend to focus on. (Which is fine by me; most wizards I saw ended up focusing on a few schools anyway but never picked a specialty because they didn't want to give up that one good spell from X school; invisibility, magic missile, dispel magic, etc).
Way of shadows monk?

Speaking of which can they use weapons or will ninja be weaponless?
I know this is not what you are looking for, but I often think that the simple cosmetic change of letting the Monk use a weapon (but keep it functionally identically to unarmed attacks, including damage) would go a long way to help me accept the Monk in a classic western medieval setting.
