[QUOTE="Greg K, post: 7617619, member: 5038"] Yes, It was from one of the Happy Hours. For one of the classes, he was mentioning that taking a subclass should not change how the character is played since first level. He said that you should not stop using weapons and armor that you had been using. You should not stop using/forgetting previous class abilities. Someone brought up the Valor Bard as falling into that category, because the character suddenly gains the armor and weapons which changes how the character plays. The person asked if the Valor bard been supported at first level. Mearls answered yes, the Valor Bard is an example, because the subclass changes your equipment and that the bard was finished before the class design guidelines were finalized. I think I might have the episode listed in a file. The issue about not changing how the character is played when acquiring the class is also why when he created his urban ranger type subclass, Mearls had to go back and create new options that support the ranger class itself in an urban environment [/QUOTE]
