[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 5593887, member: 82106"] But none of these is really a concept, they're mechanics. Sure, you can invent more new mechanics until the cows come home. That doesn't make them necessary in order to realize a character concept. I'm not saying it is not possible that there is some concept out there that simply isn't adequately addressed by current mechanics (spell thief certainly could qualify). Further I suspect that the vast majority of concepts you can come up with that could use more support can be perfectly well supported with something less extensive than an entire new class. And there are no other options except classes? Admittedly classes are something they've sold quite a number of, but as the_jester pointed out there are a LOT of other things that the game actually definitively needs right now that I would personally place much higher priority on (and his list certainly would please me greatly if WotC followed it).
