I think you are defining class glut differently than I understand it.What you describe for Earthdawn seems like a shortage of classes. People would want more classes because once they play one they would demand other options.1E and prior editions never really hit the point of class glut IMO.2E hit Kit Glut near the end IMO.3E with the addition of Prestige Classes and the rules for multiclassing hit a glut of class options each time you leveled IMO. Edit: Not immediately, but as time and supplements wore on.4E definitely has some areas where demand has not been met (the Monk and Psionics come to mind) and has shown, IMO, that there are some fresh ideas that could yet be explored (the Avenger comes to mind). So objectively no class glut yet in that there is still a demand for classes like the monk and psionic characters as evidenced here on the forums.</blockquote>
