[QUOTE="Trickster Spirit, post: 6172386, member: 6701829"] I'm not sure every new wave of Tweets from Mearls deserves its own thread, so here are the post-Gencon posts. They shed a lot of light on what we can expect in and after the final packet. TL;DR Summary: Multiclassing rules are confirmed for the last packet (I'd actually feared otherwise). The Warlock and the nigh-legendary Tactical Rules Module will not make it into the final packet, but will be previewed sometime before release. Also, WotC is recruiting CharOppers for internal playtesting.
