I always thought it weird that 3E had no suggestions for dogma, commandments, and the like for clerics. Only for Paladins and Druids.

I guess for clerics they preferred it to be generic obedience to each deity's alignment and general mindset, to be judged on a case-by-case basis.

I hear ya. Just seemed like a paragraph or two on common behavior or sins per PHB god would add a lot of flavor to the game. Dragon had some great articles on gods (the Wee Jas one was great). Maybe we'll see stuff like that in the DI.

Both cool ideas for character classes. I admit I haven't read the Saga rules, beyond the preview postings on the WotC site.

The foci thing is very intriguing. I'd call em different names, by role rather than title. So "Combat" instead of "Fighter", "Magic" instead of "Wizard" or "Cleric", and so on.

1) Combat, Stealth, Arcane, Divine
2) Certain classes with abilities outside the four foci will be based on a combination of foci (with variants sorted out as needed)
3) I may break it down to an even more basic level, with each single progression being available for purchase with points.
