[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 5581242, member: 82106"] The problem is that classes (pretty much definitionaly in 4e) don't share lists of powers. There are so incredibly ludicrously many more powers in existence in 4e already than their need to be it is just not even funny. For every concept of a power there are 42 implementations. The LAST thing I'm really interested in is spending my money on books full of more classes with more redundant powers. A subclass can reuse the mass of existing powers quite easily and even repurpose many of them simply by slightly different class features and whatnot. I don't think there's an absolute good and bad, but when you have OVER 8 THOUSAND powers listed in the Compendium that's a sign to me that we probably don't need too many more. I mean there were what, maybe 300 spells total in 1e between 4 different spell lists? Frankly I think if there IS a 5e at some point, the last thing you'll see is dozens of classes with different lists of powers. I think you'll have basically something like 8 or 10 classes, tops and that will be just about right. [/QUOTE]
