[QUOTE="JoelF, post: 3746427, member: 8829"] I still just don't like the whole 'Role' concept. It feels to me that they're going to have to pigeonhole classes into one of these, instead of just saying, lets make a class cool with different abilities from the other classes. I also think it will lead new players to have more of a "do what you're told to" by the core books instead of trying new ideas out. "Oh, I'm playing a fighter, I guess I can't be the party leader and tactician". To me buff abilities don't make a leader, but crafting a plan and convincing your party members to follow it is what makes a leader, or being the guy who is the spokesperson is the leader. Similarly, I think some classes should have the flexibility to be many roles, depending on how you select their spells/abilities - wizard is a perfect example - if you go with evocations and combat spells, you're a striker, but if you go with enchantments, illusions, and summoning spells, you're a controller.
