[QUOTE="Nyaricus, post: 3405983, member: 35678"] Kinda/sorta, IMO. Under my guidance, my group is becoming quite familiar with the new base classes in various suppliments. None have taken up a favourite position yet (though Warlock is quite popular with one guy in the group), the new classes certain have their own appeal to them. --- For my bit on the tangent about what 4th Edition core classes will look like, here'd my two coppers: [list] [*] Archivist (HoH) and Cloistered Cleric (UA) combined into one light-armoured divine caster. [*] Barbarian - likely stays; hopefully Totem Barbarian (UA) will be featured. [*] Bard and maybe the Factotum (DunScp) combined into one class? [*] Battle Sorcerer (UA) and Duskblade (PHBII) combined. Awesomeness ensures. [*] Cleric and Paladin combined into one "Crusader" or "Champion" class; a heavy-armour divine warrior. [*] Druid (PHB), Spirit Shaman (ComDiv) - need a new base Shaman class that has these as PrCs [*] Favored Soul (ComDiv) and Mystic (DLCS) - I like em, but is it worth it? [*] Fighter (PHB) and Knight (PHBII) combined is actually a neat idea. I wonder.... [*] Marshal (MHB) - needs something more, but aspects might be useful for either the cleric/pally class, or the fighter/knight class. [*] Ranger and Scout (ComAdven) into one class would be an effin schweet base class, IMO. [*] Rogue - just as is, with maybe more emphasis on it's theivery aspect, and another base-assassin class which ups the backstab/sneak attack bit. [*] Swashbuckler (ComWar), Thug (UA) - we really need a decent lightly-armoured warrior base class. [*] Warlock (ComArc) - neat new system, with much potential. [*] Wizard - has it's niche. [/list] So, by my count: Priest ("Archivist/Cloister Cleric") Barbarian Bard ("Bard/Factotum") Battlemage ("Battle Sorcerer/Duskblade") Crusader ("Cleric/Paladin") Shaman ("Druid/Spirit Shaman") Warrior ("Fighter/Knight") Marshall Scout ("Ranger/Scout") Thief ("Rogue") Cut-throat ("Rogue") Swashbuckler ("Swashbuckler/Fighter/Thug") Warlock Wizard that's 14. Not too bad, considering that there are over 70 base classes now :p cheers, --N [/QUOTE]
