[QUOTE="Aegeri, post: 5239221, member: 78116"] The thing to me is it looks like a different interpretation, without being different. If you're watching this hoping for some massive design change I think you're going to be in for a shock because what I've seen and read thus far indicates its not. I definitely approve in the variations in classes, because this actually will make designing and balancing new classes a lot easier (in that making them distinct and fulfilling their roles much easier to design). Ultimately the more I've seen of this and with the Cleric today the less worried I am they are doing something zany that will ruin 4E. It's going to be the same system, but I definitely like this new philosophy in design. This sort of evolution is a good thing. Now what will upset me? If there are no more books like DMG3, MM4, a feywild book, a far realm book and those other "fluffy" books that I've enjoyed immensely (Examples; Draconomicon, Plane Below and Open Grave) on the horizon after essentials. That will make me [i]very[/i] annoyed. That's all I'm worried about and while I'm pretty sure that's just an unreasonable worry, I really would like to see something in the future to assuage my fears about these books disappearance.
