[QUOTE="Ashrem Bayle, post: 1211740, member: 3103"] I think a Swashbuckler and "mageblade" type class are needed. However, I agree that a glut of core classes is a bad thing. The more you introduce, the more the possibilities for game breaking combinations grow. (Assuming a DM allows them all.) Also, I really don't think we need anymore spellcasting core classes. I mean, we have plenty: Wizard - Basic Arcane Caster Specialist Wizards - Basic arcane caster but with a slight twist. Sorcerer - More spells, less versatility War Mage - Mobile Artillary Cleric - Basic Divine Caster with dozens of Domains to pick from Druid - Divine, nature based, caster Favored Soul - Cleric's Sorcerer Equivalent Healer - Cleric variant specializing in healing Psions - Mind Magic with built in Specialization Paladin - Divine Caster / Warrior Hybrid Ranger - Nature Based Divine Caster / Warrior Hybrid Psychic Warriors - Mind Magic using Warriors Bard - specialized Rogue/Spellcaster hybrid Psychic (Rogues?) - Rumored to be a rogue based psychic class in the new psionics book. Not confirmed though as far as I know. Mystic Theurge - Takes care of the Arcanist/Cleric multiclass problem. Arcane Trickster - Takes care of the Rogue/Arcanist multiclass problem. Eldritch Knight - Takes care of the Fighter/Arcanist multiclass problem. I can sort of see a need for a "Mage blade" character of sorts, though its "iffy" even then with the inclusion of the Eldritch Knight in the new DMG. Regardless, if it is in the Complete Warrior, then I can't see a need for ANY new spellcasting base classes in a later "Complete Spellcasters" book. [/QUOTE]
