Clerics have been mentioned as able to act as healers even when taking other kinds of actions, presumably through swift actions. I imagine other classes have similar powers.   If there were a way to change roles around, switching those powers would be a big part of it. For a defending wizard (or any other kind caster) I'd expect swift action self buffs and other defensive magic would come into play.Eh, I have nothing against it, I read up on it and just didn't feel it was my cup of tea. It's the whole matter of "why don't you play some other game" that I don't like to touch with a 10ft pole. Tis a slippery slope, that. Playing with a good GM can make any game system worthwhile though, so I hear you there.Anyways what I'm trying to get at is the idea of assumed class roles, even if it is just a slight leaning towards a given behavior, bugs me because its applying direction not just to a class but to a character. I'd rather the "roles" not be assumed, but to be filled on your own terms though chosen spells, feats, talent trees or what have you. I can see some value of the role concept for enemies, but if you apply it to characters I don't think it's best to have it set in stone. I don't know, maybe it won't be like that at all, but what else is this place for than loudly voicing concerns and arguing over rampant speculation and sketchy information?</blockquote>
