Do You Plan To Use Essentials In Your Game (No '4.5 Edition Sucks' Plz, Kthx)

[Smoke Jaguar]

I haven't done as much digging and reading about it as the rest of you.

How can anybody know for sure when we don't know what it is exactly yet but wild rumors? People say that it is in addition/replacing/branch off of what we have currently. I will take a wait and see approach.

I will be using the Monster Vault and possibly the additional class builds if my players show interest in them.

Im interested in the essenials line but for now will remain interest from a distance. My players have already rebuilt their characters several times as new power sources and options were added. But everyone is happy with their characters and concentrated on learning them properly. Rebuilding again at this stage would be completely counter-productive.

As a player... I think the new class designs are pretty neat. The Mage looks really cool. Hypnotism! Wow! And a proper spell book again... Yeah, sounds like fun!

The rogues move actions make the rogue seem way more interesting.

I like the PHB fighter and some of my favourite powers are daily stances... so I would pass by the Knight.

And as for the Warmage, not going to interest me more than my runepriest/fighter hybrid. But then again we haven't seen the big picture yet, so I'll reserve final judgement until we do.

I am considering beginning a new campaign with a new group of new players so some new class builds might be fun to run just to try something... new!
