[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 4213431, member: 2067"] This is a fun thought experiment! Let's see... [B]Dark Sun[/B]: Defiler/Preserver I can see most of the DS classes being variants (maybe with new paths) than brand new core classes. Gladiators are fighters who have a slightly different starting package, templars could be variant paladins, athasian bards are basically rogues...but there's a lot of potential for a "Athasian Sorcerer" kind of class, and it's so rich to the setting (not to mention fairly easy to exportable), it could be done VERY MUCH right. [B]Ravenloft[/B]: Archivist. Again, most Ravenloft classes wouldn't be changed a whole lot from 4e's core. But the archivist would seem to have a special niche, and an iconic "Van Richten" character built in. :) It's a very "gothic scholar" kind of feel, which is perfectly evocative of the setting. [B]Planescape[/B]: Philosopher (aka Cloistered Cleric) Since PS has always been partially about the "kitchen sink," there isn't a great need for new classes. However, if they're going this route, then it'd be a great opportunity to release a divine spellcaster who doesn't turn undead. PS would only benefit from the addition of a class that SPECIALIZES in the philosophies of the planes. Each Faction could be its own Paragon Path! The other settings I don't know as much about, so I wouldn't venture a guess. Perhaps Birthright could have some sort of semi-magical Leader class? Perhaps Spelljammer could have some sort of pilot/pirate/nautical-type class? I must confess, this would be kind of cool. :) [/QUOTE]
