I agree, warder. But there will always be those that want to be a special snowflake. And, some of it is not that bad. Maybe there is a place for the rogue to become a ninja.
But, my money is on the fact that they are going to have "kits". Too much money to be made making up 100s of kits over 20 books that they will have planned. I just do not want these kits to be forced on you like 4e paragon path/ epic destiny.
I just hope they stick with this background specialty thing. It is almost like the old 3.5e templates in it's simplicity with roleplay potential to boot.
