[QUOTE="The Shadow, post: 6165441, member: 16760"] The wizard traditions are indeed much better... but they're now even more tightly locked into the ludicrous spell schools. Blech! At least they have some seriously flavorful abilities. (And apparently we'll be able to build our own, so that's something.) I was... mostly pretty underwhelmed by the classes. The fighter is just so much less [i]interesting[/i] than he was before, when maneuvers were his thing. I do have to say that the barbarian looks like a monster now. I like what I see. I'm not sure what the point of the ki pool is, unless it's mimicking Pathfinder. Some of the changes to backgrounds are just inexplicable. Only fighters can be knights now, apparently - sorry, paladins! They suggest Noble for you now, never mind if it doesn't make sense! And Soldier gives proficiency with cards and dice. REALLY? No option for, I don't know, a martial weapon or two? (Not all of them, certainly.) So if you were a Soldier before you were Mage, you still don't know one end of a sword (or perhaps pike or bow) from the other. [/QUOTE]
