D&D 4E 4e Classes

[Daz]

Which classes do you think are going to make the cut to 4e. I, for one think the following will make the final list.

Cleric
Druid
Fighter (with the right talent trees to also be a barbarian or monk)
Ranger
Rogue
Paladin
Warlock
Wizard

And with a psion added in before the actual release. Personally, I would have been all for something like the truenamer pr better yet incarnate, but I know that isn't going to come for a long while. Aww well, I guess I can just stop making my high alternative magic world.

If by warlock you mean something like a sorcerer but more differentiated from a wizard, then yes.

Otherwise, yes, that looks like a very likely list <edit> plus barbarian as a base class. Sorry, I don't like it either, but it's been mentioned a couple of times</edit>

And no, they're not going to add a Psion to the core rules. Psionics has always been non-core, and it'll always stay non-core. They've even said as much.

I have read that psionics are likely to appear in 2009, in the Player's Handbook II.

At this point in time, I tend to believe that the barbarian will appear as a separate class, until I hear otherwise.

It's almost what I think, but I think they will leave the monk insteas of the ranger, since I see easier to model a ranger from a fighter using the right talent tree, instead than modeling the intricacies of unarmed combat.

I'd also like to see more alternative magic and power forms in the game. I liked the Warlock and I'd like to see a good psionic system right in the game, though I see it unlikely. After all, the Druid could be modeled out of a Cleric by using talent trees and such.

EDIT: I thought you wrote Sorcerer instead of Warlock in your list.

I don't think they'll ditch the Wizard. Sorcerer was a popular class. I think it has a niche in the game.

A Sorlock?

I'm pretty sure that the ranger is in, but has killed the scout and taken all of his stuff.

 

[Shadeydm]

I think that adding teiflings to the PHB certainly increases the odds of some variation of the warlock class making the cut.

 

[MightyTev]

They could potentially merge Ranger and Paladin, into a "Champion of [blank]" sort of class.

I'm pretty sure that the ranger is in, but has killed the scout and taken all of his stuff.

Rather than another "variant fighter", easy modelizable by talents and feats, I'd rather see another Divine class, not heavy armored, let's say an all-purpose Priest instead of the standard Cleric.

That's one of the thing I really missed in 3e. No core class to represent priest from non martial cultures or archetipes (except for the nature oriented Druid)...

As long as whatever turns out to be the ranger type class doesn't have spells, I'll be happy.
