[QUOTE="William Ronald, post: 809687, member: 426"] Overall, I like the changes. I think the bard has not been handled too well in previous editions. (I don't think many people who played 1st edition realized that bards should have gotten hit dice after their last level of thief. This avoids the "beserker with a banjo" syndrome I have seen in a few games.) I think what Henry said about Piratecat's player Malachite should guide players. When I design a character, I try to focus on concept not classes. Such questions as who is the character, what does he do, what are his goals, and the reasons why he pursues those goals should be paramount. If someone thinks that 3.5 is just a plot to gather money, then why will we be able to download a new SRD document when it is released? I am looking forward to Sean K. Reynolds and a few playtesters commenting on how the finished version differs from the play test version. Sean, any thoughts on where WotC is going now that we are several months from the last round of layoffs? (I have heard that the sky is falling so many times that I don't even look up anymore.:D ) [/QUOTE]
