[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 4042166, member: 2011"] With 4E, I view it as a 4x3 matrix at the moment: Roles: Striker Defender Controller Leader Power Sources: Divine Arcane Martial I suspect that within a year or so, the Psionic Power Source will be added which will make it a 4x4 matrix. WotC will then add in at least one additional Role at some point (we should have a thread on predictions for that, I predict Sidekick as a party role in a future book ;) ) and possibly another Source or two. So, I suspect 4E will get up to 25 classes or more at some point. Personally, I understand the business need to do this. WotC will need to sell more books for players (not just DMs) for 4E. But, I would be content if it never gets beyond the 4x4 with Psionics. 12 classes is a good number. 16 is pushing it. More will be a mess of synergy conflicts and probably lack of good balance. I will also have an issue with 1000 more new feats and talents and spells and rituals and magic items being released with splat books (not that I cannot just ignore them myself, but my fellow gamers will want to use them, sigh).
