[QUOTE="Mecheon, post: 9014457, member: 6801776"] And pretty much the first books that came out added in more classes, plus it being a big part of the supplementary stuff at the time. Not necessarily stuff that stayed (Smith didn't last long, the first Dragon Magazine with Witch had, what, 3 different versions of the class?, Acrobat's come and gone but I don't see much push for it to stay regularly), but its showing that the 4 class paradigm wasn't stuck to at the time. Cleric for example completely fails at the druid archetype. I don't want any chainmail armor or turning undead if I'm a druid, or, frankly, any divine spells at all. That's all useless to a druid. why would anyone consider druid to be 'oh just shove it under cleric it'll be fine'? Cleric offers nothing a druid needs, they have no synergy outside of 'casts spells'. Heck, wizard has more shapechanging than cleric does. I asked my non-D&D playing friend about people saying that druid could be merged into cleric and she said 'holy magic for druids is ****ing stupid' so uh, all that's going to do is confuse people and uh, yeah.
