[QUOTE="Dr. Strangemonkey, post: 2081162, member: 6533"] Honestly, I would like to see more of the Arcana Unearthed style of compartmental classes like the Witch, Champion, and Totem Warrior. Or even the Psion. What else would I expect: I would like to see a variety of odd culturally derived classes: Samurai - Oriental, Druid - Occidental, Sha'ir - Middle Eastern, Ironsmith - Africa, and Totem Warrior - New World perhaps? Each of them should represent an individual and logical specialization, but they should also open up the possibility for exotic characters more/present the DM with more opportunity to expand flavor in any of those directions. So: Samurai - social heavy fighter, Druid - shapechanger, Sha'ir - summoner and supernatural negotiator, Ironsmith - magical crafter and general bad ass, Totem Warrior - supernatural light fighter/aristocrat. I think in terms of the more general archetypes, DnD is certainly lacking the armor-less social cleric that others have discussed and also something like the Arcana Unearthed Akashic as two-fisted scholar. Monk certainly needs to be improved, but is an absolutely necessary archetype as the hyper athletic and mobile unarmed fighter. [/QUOTE]
