[QUOTE="drothgery, post: 4786423, member: 360"] Though they're not mentioning it here, my bet is that the other side of why the [I]ki[/I] power source didn't make sense is that the 'oriental' spellcasters really belonged in the elemental power source if it was there. Guesses for the OA classes, long-run ninja - shadow striker sammauri - paragon path open to any defender shujenga - elemental leader wu jen - elemental controller It's hard to figure what psionic classes will make the cut, or if they decide to come up with something new. I mean, probable role of the 3.5 psionic classes pretty much breaks down as psychic warrior - defender psion - controller (a kineticist could be a striker, but my guess is they want to leave that kind of thing to arcane and maybe elemental characters) wilder - controller (see psion) soulknife - defender or striker ardent - leader divine mind - defender lurk - striker If I were to guess what they actually do in PH3, well, with WotC axing the [I]ki[/I] power source it makes the two power sources idea more tenable, so... monk - psionic striker soulknife - psionic defender (soulknives figure prominently in Kalashtar culture, and putting two classes in the ECS would take up too much space, and there's a surplus of strikers) [new class] - psionic leader telepath - psionic controller hexblade - shadow defender ninja or assassin - shadow striker necromancer - shadow leader shadowcaster or beguiller or illusionist - shadow controller [/QUOTE]
