[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8091418, member: 6987520"] I find it interesting that people think adding a couple classes now and again will help keep 5E appealing when you consider how long 1E ran (about 10 years or so) with only the Unearthed Arcana (which was hardly universally well received--I mean the book literally fell apart LOL! :) ) which added Cavalier, Barbarian, and Thief-Acrobat. But it was seven years before it was released IIRC. Of those, only the Barbarian made it to 5E through the editions run. We now also have Bards (different from the 1E version), Sorcerers and Warlocks, both of which people [I]seem[/I] to like but many people say are not fully developed or whatever. A number of people even talk about how much better it would be to combine them. A fair number of people have asked for revision to Rangers and even Monks. So, they added the Artificer. [I]Meh[/I] Some people like it, others don't. No surprise there. Personally, I think it is OP, but a lot of people like a more intense game-style. I didn't buy the book for it. :) Anyway, after several hundred posts the only good thing I can say is this: any new classes will come in supplemental books. I probably won't buy them and don't feel the need for the classes. As a DM I'll have to tell players they can't use them in my games. Oh, well. [I]shrug[/I] When 6E comes out, maybe they will have 20 classes or something ridiculous like that... But depending on the rest of the system, I might or might not buy that either. Maybe they will finally adopt the game to something completely different and revolutionary? We'll see. But, I feel it is time for me to unwatch this thread. Time to move on. I'll conclude by saying that for the people who want them, I hope the new classes at least are designed well enough to make you happy. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
