Full roster of PHB3 races known yet?

[Nahat Anoj]

Oh no! The sahuagin found me!

No not sahuagin, they're a traditionally evil race, like the githyanki. Locathah would be where it's at.

What they really should make is another Con-based class.

Based on the wilden entry, many people (myself includeded) think it's a good bet that the battlemind will be a Con based class.

 

[Camelot]

I would squeal with joy, except I don't do such things.

Instead, I will merely say...

...I sure hope so.

Is the battlemind the psionic defender?

We don't know for sure, but I'd say that's also a safe bet.

The poor summoner wizard isn't getting any love. Nor the unusual Con secondary staff wizard. Nor hellish, star, or vestige pact warlocks.

What they really should make is another Con-based class.

Very true, and an Int one would be good also. Warlocks have few multi-classing opportunities and Wizards have Swordmages only

Cmpared to strength-based multis, most other multis are left behind.

 

[Danceofmasks]

Insofar as int multis go, there's also artificer, though I'm of the opinion invoker is generally a better multi option than artificer.

Wizards have Swordmages only

Well, there are artificers from the EPG, who can be Int/Con or Int/Wis, so are very compatible with wizards. I'm sad that class didn't make it into Arcane Power. It's fun, and has a lot of potential.

Shifters were Eberron specific and made the PHB2. I wouldn't be surprised to see a Dark Sun race in PHB3.

Shifters? Nah. Those things have been around forever in one form or another. In any case its certainly a race that fits in well in a standard campaign setting, which is I think why it was introduced as a core race/monster. Given that true lycanthropes are a bit out there as official PC races the shifter makes perfect sense in core.

Uh, wizards can MC to a lot more than just swordmage. In fact its really better from what I can see to MC the other way from swordmage to wizard. Invokers are practically a perfect MC match with wizards, they share prime reqs AND their implement, how much better can it get? Its not at all hard to make a wand wizard that MC into rogue either. Orb wizards can do reasonably well as clerics too.

Warlocks CAN MC fine. Paladin is an excellent choice with full overlap of CHA between star/fey and CHA paladin. You can go either CHA/WIS, or CHA/INT depending on what you want to do. CHA/CON is possible as well but splits your prime stat, though it does give you access to more warlock stuff. A CHA/DEX warlock/rogue is also an interesting choice.

An OBVIOUS choice would also be a Summoner wizard/conlock, though I'm not really sure what would be gained by it there's probably some sort of fun build hiding in there.

I really haven't looked into what would be possible with the primal classes. Several of them depend a good bit on CON so there are possible synergies with conlock or summoner wizards potentially. Shaman is very definitely known to go well with wizard, both being INT based primaries.

So yeah, there are really no other CON primary classes except conlock, which does limit them a good bit but with the right choice of race you can do something. Dwarves can definitely easily pull off a warlock/cleric or warlock fighter.

Con locks multi any primal class. It doesn't matter which.
Though I'd go with barbarian 'cos it's got synergy with ...
Having 13 strength to take hide proficiency ... and hide armor expertise.

Infernalists + high AC + temp hp = funny tank.

Put it on a dwarf pact hammer rhythm wielder for the ensuing of hilarity.

Yeah, hide expertise really did it for those guys too. Better to hybrid though. It will be nice to have all the hybrids out.

I forgot that one.
