[QUOTE="TrickyUK, post: 5805619, member: 13504"] The talk of themes for 5e and how they interact with race/class makes me think that 5e core will be similar to original 1e. Core Races: Human, Elf, Dwarf, Half-elf, Halfling, Gnome (can't remember exactly what races were in 1e, but you'll have the usual suspects). Core Classes: Fighter, Cleric, Wizard, Rogue (these sound like the class groups from 2e (Warrior, Rogue, Wizard and Priest). There perhaps should be some distinction between themes (for class) and templates (for race, but may be confused with monster templates). But in sticking with the modular design, I feel that the core will be a fairly tight baseline. And IMO the modules will not expand the core (new races/classes) just deepen it (themes). OTH, you may end up with Core elements and expanded elements (but I hope not both with some additional elements using themes and some being optional races/classes), we'll just have to wait and see.
