[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8091092, member: 6802378"] I guess 6th Ed will not arrive until 2030. Today Hasbro is too busy and worried about to promote the brand as multimedia franchise. After the psionic powers the next step may the the martial maneuvers or some equivalent. Then the duskblade would be more like the warlock, with lower number of spells but recovered with a short rest (1 hour), or spending spell slots to add some metamagic effect (for example energy substitution) to some martial maneuver. Then if the game designers are too busy with a rehash of the swordsage class then the duskblade may be delayed. Maybe the first step of the 5th ed class will be demi-official, something like the blood hunter, for a long time, waiting the feedback until the ultimate publishing in the books. For example the warlord. We have to remember several videogames are being developed, not only Baldur's Gate and the other two (one of them d20 but sci-fi not linked to D&D). If it's no medieval fantasy this will mean totally new classes. If one of these videogames is about strategy or a war gang, then the warlord class will have to appear yes or yes. And maybe it works in the videogame but in the tabletop could be too complicated and slow to play. * Lots of (beat'em) videogames have got fighters with some magic tricks, but these rarely are vancian system, but more at-will or easy and fast to be reloaded. * I guess WotC will take note about what sourcebooks with new classes are the best sold in DM Guild. * WotC is who has to say about we have got enough crunch or more sourcebooks can be published, and now most of the 5th Ed titles by WotC are modules.
