[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 5944795, member: 63508"] So I was thinking (yeah. That was my first mistake) and started counting the types of themes I'd like to see. Once I was up to my toes, I said "Uh Oh. These all aren't going to fit 'less the book is huge or the print is tiny." So I grouped some them and am asking: How many do we need? [B]Class-lite themes[/B] Themes that let you sort of play like another class or reenforce the elements of the base class. These are things like Magic User which makes a wizard more wizardy or makes another class wizardy. And to be fair, you'll have to make a Class-Lite for each class or you know what will happen. [B]Racial themes[/B] Like Class themes but races instead of class. Make your dwarf more axe crazy and like a walking tank or make your human from dwarf lands get some axe and armor love. [B]Combat style themes[/B] Themes that reenforce a weapon style or combat tactic. This is the much talked about Sharpshooter theme and the previewed Lurker and Slayer theme. This could be further be split into weapon style themes (Two weapon fighting, Weapon and Shield, Archery,...) and combat tactic (Lurker, Warlord-like, Slayer) [B]Spell school themes[/B] Spells schools are back and they keep talking about the necromancer thing. 8 more themes? [B] Combat Role Themes [/B]Could the combat roles of 4E return as themes? As the 4 or as the many variants of the 4 combat roles.[B] Prestige Class/Paragon Path/Epic Destiny themes [/B]Dwarven defender and others was mentioned at one or more points. How many? [B]Template Themes[/B] RAWR! I'm a Weretiger. [B]Setting Themes[/B] Setting themes should go in setting books. But should they toss a few in the first PHB? What da ya think? [/QUOTE]
