I wouldn't make Half-Giants or Thri-keen PC races, but a half-giant seems like a pretty awesome NPC opponent that it would be a shame to lose. I like the Tieflings and the Warlocks from Da's OP. Makes sense to me. It'll depend on what clerics end up looking like in the PHB, but elemental clerics do seem a bit odd. Maybe celestial objects of some sort. Paladins I would say can draw their powers from either the cleric source or the Sorceror-King - that way, even if you know someone's a Templar, you don't know if they're the Warlock kind or the Paladin kind, so you can't prepare for them as well. I like the Preserver "spend a minor action to avoid doing damage" mechanic - it seems to reflect the "extra care taken", along with the difficulty of being a preserver, without being TOO costly. I wouldn't actually make "preserver" or "defiler" something that's defined by a mechanics choice though. Just say every Wizard has the option to use his magic in Preserver fashion - those who always do so (or at least who are never seen defiling) are known as Preservers - those who are seen Defiling (which happens whenever you don't spend the minor action per the mechanic in OP) are known as Defilers. I also like both ideas for psionics - replicating magic item powers and/or giving you the ability to cherry-pick another class's at-will power as an encounter power every X levels. Either one could work well, depending on what we see when the books come out.</blockquote>
