Message: <blockquote data-quote="Green Knight" data-source="post: 808945" data-attributes="member: 2723">New classes and Prestige Classes, huh? Well, bear in mind that the vast majority of Prestige Classes out there AREN'T designed to fulfill roles on the battlefield. There's the Warmaster in S&F, but is there much else? So I can see the need for new Prestige Classes. Like, say, a Prestige Class for Artillerists. Or Skirmishers. Or other specialized troops on the battlefield.  As for new classes, personally I'd like to see the Aristocrat made into a viable PC class. It's necessary for this, to represent the noble lords leading their troops into battle. An Aristocrat wouldn't be much of an adventuring class, but I can see it on the battlefield. So I can see them making it a full-fledged class. Somebody else also pointed out Artificer. Or was it Alchemist? Point is, someone who can make all kinds of weapons of war without resorting to magic. That'd be nice. Probably a couple more classes one can come up with.  And hey, if you're so offended that they'd put some actual new info into this book, then don't buy it. But honestly, I'm getting sick of the bitching. Wah, wah, wah. Wizards is trying to make money. Wah, wah, wah. How dare they want to feed and clothe their children and put them through school? Wah, wah, wah. Geeze. Apparently the only way to satisfy some of you people is if EVERYTHING was done for free, and for the people at WoTC to be forced to live in boxes under the nearest bridge and forage for food from trash cans behind restaurants, with their children running around barefoot in sackcloth.  Besides, the new classes most likely won't be in the main book because they don't fit the standard D&D mold, I.E. going out and adventuring. These're likely classes that are based in military service. How many people, here, play games where you Fighter is a soldier who spends most of the year on guard duty? How exciting a game would that be? Or how many of you have played Aristocrats who spend most of their time administering over your lands, rather than dungeon-delving? I doubt very many. And that's why the new classes won't be in the PHB. Because they're not something your average D&D player would use in a standard D&D game built around adventuring, travelling, and dungeon-delving.</blockquote>
