You could multiclass easily. Monsters could have classes.  Heck, you could even write your material, compatible with D&D, and sell it!And I think we revelled in the freedom, and didn't really realize that these different elements--once you were given the freedom to combine them--didn't really mesh together all that well.  But it worked decently, and was a big improvement over what came before, so we were happy.With 4E, hopefully we retain that freedom (which was, imo, the biggest innovation of 3E), but the game itself is put on a more substantial and solid foundation.</blockquote>
