[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 1362665, member: 2205"] That's fine. I wouldn't; I'd use the AU Unfettered. But you've modified the class as well, so "no additional rules" is a bit disingenious to say. And true, all these options tend to converge at some point. I don't, however, understand the reticence about new core classes. What's the big deal? Why not? Why does everything have to be done within the framework of D&D as presented? One of my big problems with D&D when I left it in 1e days was the rampant D&D isms that didn't emulate anything I read in fantasy fiction. I came back in 3e because the rules were so much better and more flexible, but I'm not finding that I feel the same thing; I don't like the D&D flavor. So for me, new core classes are essential so I can do games with different types of flavor. True, I don't want to run an "anything goes" type of game, but I want more options, not less. This constant talk of streamlining d20, or D&D, into less options is astonishing to me. [/QUOTE]
