Though Oompa isn't entirely correct: Dragon Magazine material can be used in other books. Specifically:

You so deserve an COOKIE!!!

I would bet the I is "Illusionist" and one of the S classes is "Summoner" as Wizards mentions in the "Conversion" article Andy Collins posted that those two schools of magic will be getting attention soon.

We know one of the reasons stated for leaving Gnomes out was to develop the Illusionist as a class to go well with the race.

Wizards has hinted that they will rework a lot of the old spell schools into specialty caster classes and with the lack of "Summon XX" spells I can easily see those become Encounter powers with monster summoning cards or Rituals of some sort. (I'm betting the community gets these out way before June of next year, just as I'm sure we'll see Bards and Monks and Half-Orcs from the community relatively soon based on the outcry.)

I think Wizards will publish "authoritative" versions but the year wait is likely too long for most active players/fans of these classes and races.

And presumably as long as we keep buying them there will be no need for 5E.

haha!

If only it were true....

I - (What class starts with an "I")Inquisitor?

Inquisitive.

It is the year of Eberron, after all.

Hmm.

B - Barbarian (Primal)
B - Bard (Arcane)
D - Druid (Primal)
I - Illusionist (Arcane)
S - Shaper (Psi)
S - Swordmage (Arcane)
T - Telepath (Psi)
W - Witchdoctor (Primal)

I was surprised to see there are only 8 classes set for the PHBII, I thought there would be place for 2 or 3 more classes.

So 8 classes and races is the standard for a PHB.

Barbarian, Bard, Druid, Illusionist, Shaman, Sorcerer are sure bet.

Less sure about the Telepath & Wilder. It could be also a Theurgist and a Warsomething class. I don't know. I would have loved to see a N for Necromancer.

 

[The Grumpy Celt]

It probably is Illusionist, or possibly Interloquator.

But what about races?

Half-Orcs
Gnomes

What else? Kinder? Those elves with wings? Ducks?

 

[MaelStorm]

The 8 letters for races were revealed a few weeks ago. It's in another thread.

Are power sources confirmed for PHB2 ?
With 8 classes, it seems unlikely they'll fit 3 new power sources and still manage to squeeze in the arcane & divine classes left out of PHB1.
