[QUOTE="Scribble, post: 5242280, member: 23977"] I think an important difference to think about though is what you mean by "better." If you mean better in the sense that the new classes will be more powerful, that's one thing. That I think would be a problem. Like the "must have" feats if the class is better, they effectively replace the old versions. If you mean better as in "more fun" that to me is an entirely different ball game. It doesn't speak to any idea of "new edition," it just means a new design idea for the edition was well received. If I can play an old character and an essentials character in the same party and the two are roughly balanced the same, then I'm happy. That just means more options for players! :D So far it looks like the later option. The essential Cleric just seems kind of like someone else who knew more about character building was building your character for you, and only every now and then asked you for some thematic input.
