[QUOTE="Voss, post: 3932075, member: 57593"] I'd rather the new books had new classes, and any published classes are complete from the point they show up in a book. It neatly avoids the power creep that plagues 3.5 (every time a new book gets published, classes gain from the spells, and to a lesser extent, feats). If classes are complete out of the box, they're much easier to balance and handle. Focusing on new classes would give the marketing and money making something else to focus on. It also avoids a serious issue, because if classes gain powers in each book, each 'new' class would be farther and farther behind the curve. For example, if a class gets, say, 60 powers to choose from in its initial book, and an extra 15 per book, by the time the PH3 comes around, PH1 classes would have 90 powers to choose from, and the druid or psion would be lingering behind at 60. And you would really have to give new powers to every class equally to keep them competitive. [/QUOTE]
