Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tony Vargas" data-source="post: 5654957" data-attributes="member: 996">Taken away relative to 4e, sure.  When you decide what 4e class to play, you can do so by thinking of a concept - a character from fiction, an archetype or whatever - and picking a class that's close.  So, if you want to play a little guy who waves a wand around and shouts questionable latin, you play wizard, if you want to play a heroic warrior who leads men into battle, you play a warlord.  Whatever you go for, each class is reasonably contributing and balanced accross a wide variety of play styles - and some are only a little harder than others.If you aproach Essentials the same way, the wand-waver is likely a Mage - the closest thing Essentials boasts to a complex/difficult class - and the heroic warrior probably a Knight (not quite as dead-simple as a Slayer, but close).  Relative to 4e, the guy who's playing a Knight instead of Warlord /did/ have his dailies 'taken away.'  Because Essentials lays down the law that if you want to play a non-caster, you /must/ play the simplest classes (if you want to wave that wand, you better be up for picking twice as many powers as anyone else, and prepping half of them each day).</blockquote>
