Message: <blockquote data-quote="Minigiant" data-source="post: 8840094" data-attributes="member: 63508">I think this is also where some of the wackiness and imbalance  of subclasses comes from.The Broad classes like Fighter have a ton in their umbrella so TSR and WOTC had a ton of directions to go with kits and subclasses at the expense of doing them all poorly.The Semi-narrow classes were planned with only so many subclass ideas and once they go passed that number, the designers struggled for ideas and this is where you got broken and boring stuff like Twilight/Peace clerics and CODzilla.And the focused narrow classes had planned splits so they had well made flavorful and balanced subclasses as long as you don't force an idea into the class without the design space (Beastmaster/Way of the 4E).Narrow just seems objectively the best option but (current) WOTC and many fans just hate the idea of new classes.</blockquote>
