[QUOTE="FrozenNorth, post: 8610038, member: 7020832"] I think that power creep on classes that were weaker before is a legitimate concern. In many cases, the class archetypes in the PHB are those that are the most commonly associated with those classes, so having to choose between playing the archetype that you want, or an archetype that is more powerful but more peripheral is something that would frustrate me as a player. This is all the more the case where, as another poster pointed out, for some classes, some of the new mechanics are more complicated or require additional tracking. As a specific example, if I am playing a Monk, I am doing so either for the Avatar 4e archetype or for the kung fu Open Hand archetype. I would not be interested in playing either an Astral Self or a Way of Mercy monk. As someone who likes the Wild mage sorcerer, this is also true for the sorcerer class. So, power creep can be a concern even of it is just the weaker classes that are brought up. [/QUOTE]
