(similar to a 1e Illusionist when the adventure is going to be against mindless undead: leave it at home this trip)I more see it as the other way around: these added mechanics are what both cause and lead to the added complexity.As long as there's a range of simple classes to play it doesn't much matter what they are; that it's the 'muggle' classes that are simple also carries the benefit that those more-mundane types are probably easier for new players to relate to.</blockquote>
