Instead, a page explaining "you don't need xxx class in 4.0 because you can do it with xxx talent tree instead" similar to the conversion section in Urban Arcana explaining how to port between d20 Modern and D&D.As for spells, hopefully under 4.0 many of them will have become obsolete or redundant as well (see the scaling orbs of [energy] spells for example), and they can be explained away in one table.I have no idea what 4.0 is going to do with prestige classes, and there are so many of them they would probably need their own book. I'd rather see one book devoted to a 4.0 update of all the relevant 3.5 prestige classes and have the rest of the 4.0 books dedicated to new material.There is so much material from 3.5 that it would be a shame to waste it or use it as a staggered release over various books by a score of designers who might not have the same approach.When 3.0 was released, enworld had hundreds of files converting nearly every bit of crunch from 2.0 and 2.5. If WotC doesn't do it, I hope the community will.</blockquote>
