Although replacing it would probably be unnecesary, clerics work perfectly well as holy warriors, and prestige classes could be used for anything that clerics don't cover.Many of us however consider D&D flavor and consistancy quite important. There are many things that have no other reason then this for existing. They could just as easily say that elves no longer need to have pointy ears, they are just generic dexterous skinny who can look however you want them to. That would certainly fit into more campaign worlds. Similarly dwarves could just be tough dour people who could look however the player wanted, or however the DM felt they should. In fact really every class except fighter, rogue, cleric and mage could be a prestige class, and I'm not even sure about rogue. This would all certainly make things easier to adapt and more generic, but I'm not sure it would make for a better game.Trying to discuss an issue while saying you can only use the points that support your cause, but not the points that detract from it is probably not going to be very productive.</blockquote>
