[QUOTE="MrMyth, post: 5487863, member: 61155"] This is one element I find strange. Does it really [I]matter [/I]if the Binder uses the Essentials presentation (of giving the class a 1-30 write-up, rather than seperating features from powers) if the overall class structure is more akin to the PHB1 classes? That's fair enough. What I think most people objected to was the idea that this book wouldn't have that sort of support, despite a Table of Contents that largely suggested otherwise. I mean, they might not provide the support in the amount that is desired, but it certainly seems likely that it will be there. If the cleric powers include new non-domain At-Wills and Encounter Attack Powers, will that be the sort of thing you are looking for? If the wizard is offered their own versions of the Schools of Necromancy and Nethermancy as alternate options to Implement Mastery, and given a full selection of powers that work without them having to be a mage - would that be acceptable? I don't expect stuff to come out that ignores Essentials entirely, at least not for a while. But this book looks like to support both Essentials and earlier builds, and the assumption that it won't - or that new options are useless unless [I]specifically [/I]exclusionary of Essentials content - isn't something I can really wrap my head around.
