I also don't read through all the new classes that get put-up in Dragon. Last weekend, I decided to run the Village of Homlet adventure as updated for 4e. (It was a lot of fun.) It was a one-shot ran outside the usual time we play.One of my regulars comes to me and says that he's playing a level 4 Ardent. I ask him what an Ardent is, explaining to him that I'm behind on my PHB3 classes reading. He tells me it's a Psionic Warden. Works for me. We played and, even though I was unfamiliar with the class, it worked out really well. It "felt" like he was playing a Psion, and it felt like he was playing a leader.My point, and I do have one, is that allowing all the various classes in the game rarely impedes my enjoyment as a DM. It helps that the CB prints out the text of the power so I can look at it if I need to.<tangent>This same regular was dealing a beat-down on one of my monsters this past Saturday. I jokingly called him a cheater and asked to see his character sheet so I could look at the power he was using. When he handed it to me (after protesting his innocence) I saw that the power he used was handwritten! Of course, he wasn't a cheater, he was just using a power that wasn't going into the the CB until the next update. But it was funny nonetheless.</tangent></blockquote>
