Message: <blockquote data-quote="mkill" data-source="post: 5239607" data-attributes="member: 55985">There is an interesting "back to the roots" flavor in the current announcement. The class table of the Cleric has a distinctive "old school" feel to it, and before that we had the reinstated auto-hit magic missile...Looks like they're not just aiming for completely new players, who weren't even born when TSR faltered, but also for some of the old guard who are still on the fence because 4th edition is missing some key D&D feel for them.Speculating about the other classes...- Ranger (Dex) and Paladin (Cha) will be A-shaped like the Cleric- The Slayer Fighter will lean striker, the Knight will lean pure Defender / Tank. I don't expect a mounted path as that would be too complicated.- Wizard will see some nod towards Spell schools (old school)- Rogue will likely have a Duelist and a Sniper build. One will be Cha (Halfling), the other could be Wis (Elf) or Int (Eladrin)- It's possible (but unlikely) that the Warlock will be the one without Dailies, to distinguish him from the Wizard more- If the Essentials Line sells well enough we'll see a third book with Warlord, Bard etc.</blockquote>
