[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 4787527, member: 2067"] Those too! Some of those playtest powers are all: "You get to make a save!" :) Possibly, but monsters and classes move paper, and a lot of these concepts have enough unique hooks that you can make plenty of space in the design for them. I can't say I'll be shocked if we don't get sohei or whatever, but WotC is not looking to make the number of classes small, so if they have a reason, a solid hook, and a book to fit in, it'll see publication somewhere. Most of these are just waiting for the reason. Sohei are, flavor-wise, defenders, though. I think they'd be closer to paladins, but mobile, nimble defenders, something like the monk's mobility with the paladin's divine-smite flavor and maybe an altered state of rage-like ability for the marking or somesuch. Shugenja are, flavor-wise, divine/elemental, and their spell list in 3e tended to be striker-y. Wu Jen were arcane/elemenental, and likewise, their spell list was about dealing damage. I have a little pet theory that the elemental classes will fall along role lines (at least a little), however. Earth = Defender Water = Leader Air = Controller Fire = Striker [/QUOTE]
