[QUOTE="kennew142, post: 3946748, member: 18490"] I don't want to speak for other folks, but I would suspect that it is the latter. I believe one of the keys to D&D 4e is to decide the core concept of the character, the role, and then to find the appropriate class that best represents this concept. In many ways, it is the reverse of what we have been doing for the last 30 years. I feel confident enough in the design team to believe that they will provide enough different talent trees to encompass each type of character, even if the player has to choose a different class than they originally thought of. My confidence isn't completely blind. SWSE and (to a lesser extent) D20 Modern has talent trees and they take the place of class abilities. I would be very surprised if all rangers are hard-wired to be nature boys, especially given the lack of a nature power source in 4e. I believe that they will instead put the [I]range[/I] into ranger.
