You can get a good feel for some classes. I can even recommend a couple games to look at. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />I'm on of the people who didn't like Essentials. As I see it, the idea was to make the classes as simple as possible by removing all those tricky difficult choices. But it was unnecessary. Buyer's remorse about a power you picked? retrain at next level! See, done. And it was usually pretty easy to pick the right power based on your build, race, and the type of game you were playing. And let's face it: building characters and watching them advance is a lot of the fun when you aren't at the actual gaming table. In fact, it seems like there are people who only build characters, and never actually play. Especially the ones who build lots of hybrids (groan). Personally, I also think that PH3 was a mistake.The good news is that you can pick up a complete set of 4e books now. (Adventurer's Vault might be a bit difficult or expensive), because they stopped printing books. Only thing they are making now is what comes out on DDI.Need comments or reviews on modules? Have you checked the reviews section of this board?</blockquote>
