[QUOTE="BASHMAN, post: 5771711, member: 8277"] BECMI added maybe 1 class per setting book. So the Dwarves of Rockhome had rules for Dwarf Clerics. The 5 shires book has rules for the Hin Master (prestige) class. They did release some race books, like "Tall Tales of teh Wee Folk" but those races were definitely seen as optional, not "hostage core". It isn't the same as "ha ha ha ha! if you want gnome bards or half-orc barbarians, you have to buy the next book! Meanwhile here's rules for a level 30 Dragonborn Warlock that you'll never play. Mua ha ha ha HA! " that they did in 4e. And I for one, definitely DON'T want that! I don't think that making everyone buy epic tier stuff for the 25% of people that want it is a great solution. If they say "since only 25% of people will willingly buy epic tier stuff, it should be manditory to ensure it gets made in the first place" doesn't make sense to me. It's just going to upset the other 75% of people who wanted their half-orc barbarians and gnome bards at level 1 and got stuck with stuff they'll never use instead. Why not make the Epic Tier stuff be part of another book, like the DMG that would likewise have a limited audience? Then there's twice as much reason to buy it. [/QUOTE]
