[QUOTE="Reaper Steve, post: 5358077, member: 51528"] [Conspiracy theory] I suspect that may be intentional, with pretty much all the Essentials classes. I think they want players to prefer the Essentials versions over the 'New Coke 4E' versions (as I do in every case so far.) If that becomes the case, then when (surprisingly) the market data shows that the target audience doesn't really use the PHB versions of those classes any more, they can use that research as leverage for not supporting them any longer. Genius, really! [/conspiracy theory] If this comes to pass, it will be the second time I've seen a self-fulfilling prophecy created and come to pass. I'm jealous of the cleverness! (The first being: a girl at work started the rumor that she was next to be promoted to higher responsibility.
