[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 7697403, member: 92511"] You absolutely can (and I have) in all of the proposed instances. You [and others] just might not like it/thing it's "enough" of what they want/expect...and, granted, certain archetypes might be easier to construct than others. But you absolutely can do it. For the most part, subclasses give you 5-6 different additional features of design space. Anywho, I would put money on, a minimum of, the following: The New Ranger(s) and subclasses is a minimum of 4-6 pages. The Mystic and subclasses is a minimum of 4-6 pages. General Psionics combat, adventuring, etc... 4-6 pages. The Water/Sailing adventuring, naval combat stuff, and character options if an easy 5-10 pages. We can extrapolate/presume Air/Flying adventuring, aerial combat stuff, and character options for another 5 pages (probably reprinting the aaracokra, et al from the elemental book). Maybe other "unusual terrains" adventuring, combat stuff, character options (deserts, arctic, etc...) 2-4 pages each. Added clerical domains: minimum 3 pages. Added subclasses for other classes, 1-3 pages each. Added spells and magic items, 20+ pages easily. Added races and subraces 2-6 pages. We can assume at least some fan-clamoring will be catered to, so Eberron, Dragonlance, somewhere else (cuz you have to do 3) specific classes, races, and setting specifics is an easy 5 pages, each. Outer planes/cosmological/Planar specifics...obviously with heavy doses of Planescape-setting and character option shmutz. All told, an [additional/expanded from the DMG] "planar" section could easily be 5-10 pages. Overly Detailed "added complexity" subsystems for everything from mass combat to going to the bathroom will likely take up the rest/another 50 pages, easily. I think that's plenty of material to hit the 150 or so page mark for a "major mechanical expansion." [/QUOTE]
