[QUOTE="Spatula, post: 4666150, member: 2198"] Why should an archer be of the fighter class? Agreed. Sure. It also contained more classes and more flexible multiclassing. Not sure what "mechanical diversity" has to do with anything. On the contrary, theme is very important for 4e classes, definitely moreso than 3e's generic classes, which have no set theme (the fighter chief among them; it's basically just a bag of combat feats and IME used only for that purpose). Depends on what kind of character you want to create. There's plenty of concepts in the 3e splatbooks that exist because they allow people to create concepts that just weren't possible with just the PHB. Swashbucklers, ninjas, psionicists, etc. And it goes beyond classes. The core set of cleric domains is a pretty good list, but there are plenty of concepts that it doesn't cover, and hence the splats are full of new domains that aren't present in the PHB but that are necessary for certain kinds of clerics.
