[QUOTE="WalterKovacs, post: 5501908, member: 63763"] Wizards can (and to some extent have to, as with their spellbook, they may not have 2 options at every level that fit their school). But for the warpriest, their encounter powers are locked in by their choice of domain. My overall point is that, a new mage school, while it may encourage someone to play a mage, or to make a new mage, the school specific stuff (i.e. the paragon path, and the benefits specific to that school) are options not avaiable to existing characters. If someone already had a, for example, pyromancer mage or orb of imposition wizard, the necromancer school "option" isn't support, it's a new character possibility. The powers, however, are something they can use. That was my perspective on support. True, support for a class might mean encouraging people to start playing that class, or make a new character for that class ... but a lot of people buying books at this point are already playing, and likely have a character that isn't going to just die and get rerolled as soon as the book comes out. In that case, supporting those characters means giving them new powers and feats and items, things they don't have to abandon their existing character to use. Sure, there are a lot of stuff in the book for new characters (all the races, new classes and new builds for existing classes that are pretty much the same as a new class, but with existing support already) but outside of the races and vampire (unless there is a multiclass feat in the book) provide stuff for existing characters to use.
