Message: <blockquote data-quote="Crazy Jerome" data-source="post: 5733094" data-attributes="member: 54877">I think part of this in 4E is an accident of the implementation (or at least a side effect of it). When they decided that each class would have its own list of powers, and then the powers became a big part of expressing the role, not just the class, we were going to get a certain amount of class/role blending no matter what. (That is, regardless of whether one thinks that is a good idea or not.)  Now, I'm not particularly bothered by role/class linking in the ways discussed in this topic. But I happen to not like some of the other side effects of having a list of powers for every class. I believe it was mentioned as a possible mistake in one of the recent WotC posts. So there may very well be some design/implementation avenues open here that would appeal to multiple style preferences, albeit for different reasons.</blockquote>
