[QUOTE="delericho, post: 3725376, member: 22424"] IMO, if they want to support more than the 8 classes that are in the PHB1, they would be [i]very[/i] well advised to rethink the number of classes in the PHB1. The problem is one that was faced by supplements for 3e - no print book can assume that the player base has access to any other book (or, in this case, the DI).
