[QUOTE="mamba, post: 9093817, member: 7034611"] I did not talk about classes being dropped, I talked about things they proposed in the playtest. Of course they do not throw out classes altogether… I have not seen any results for the current test with animals. I do not even care whether they perform better than pretty awful templates. The point was that they should have iterated on templates, and if that does not get you over the finish line, try animals instead. Heck, try both at the same time for different subclasses, or call them Druid 1 vs Druid 2. I would expect the testers to not get confused by that. The worst thing you can do is to just drop it, and to do so without anyone filling out the survey knowing that this will be the consequence of a low score (I am talking >40% or so here, not >20). How many people voted a 3 because they liked templates but thought these ones needed work? We will never know, but none of them will be happy with them being thrown out instead. If they had known this would be the result, chances are they would have voted 4 instead, to see an iteration, just like they expected they would get. We do not really know what we are voting for (as in what happens because of the result) and WotC does not really know how to interpret our votes accurately. That is a great combination… [/QUOTE]
