And the barbarian isn't put in clearly.Maybe the barbarian will really be the martial controller (getting wild whirlwind attack-like manoeuvres - Tome of Nine Swords has stuff like this), the monk the arcane defender (I know, they're usually called a sort of priest, but they don't exactly worship a deity and get power from that deity. The power comes through dedication and little-understood feats of self-discipline. You could call that arcane).That would give us this matrix:[CODE]            [B]Martial    Arcane   Divine[/B][B]Defender[/B]    Fighter    Monk     Paladin[B]Striker[/B]     Rogue      Sorcerer Ranger[B]Controller[/B]  Barbarian  Wizard   Druid[B]Leader [/B]     Warlord    Mage     Cleric[/CODE]The only problem I have with this is that I read that there will be less classes than before. I can't remember whether that was a rumour, though, or whether that just meant that not all of the old classes were still there, and that new classes could still increase the number.I also don't think that we have to fill each role, that each class must fall into a specific role, or that only one class cann fill a role.So maybe we don't have an arcane leader, The Ranger is a martial/divine striker, and that we have more than one martial defender.</blockquote>
