[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 5773167, member: 2012"] On the thread regarding which races and classes everyone wants to see in the new version of the game, it seems a given that most want at least these four options: • Cleric • Fighter • Rogue • Wizard Beyond those four "core" choices, it gets hard to come to a consensus. We all want something a bit different. So, it might be in the best interest of all to choose a way to expand upon thes four prime classes with one of several options: • Subclass • Prestige Class • Theme The 4E themes introduced in the Dark Sun campaign book was one of the best innovations of that system. They feel a lot like the old 2E kits but were balanced with the design of 4E. If the designers can find a way to use them in D&D Next then I think it would be a good thing. Now, I'm also a big fan of prestige classes but I realize that a lot of people dislike or outright hate them. But, it's an option. There's also the option of creating specialized subclasses under each of the 4 prime classes. Regardless, I think there should be at least two options under each of the 4 prime classes: [I]Cleric[/I] • • [I]Fighter[/I] • • [I]Rogue[/I] • • [I]Wizard[/I] • • [SIZE="1"]Fill them in as you see fit.[/SIZE] ;) I would put Druid and Paladin under Cleric. I would put Barbarian and Ranger under Fighter. I would put Assassin and Scout under Rogue. And I would put Bard and Sorcerer under Wizard. You could play just the prime class or choose to specialize in one of the options. Opinions? Suggestions? Rebuttals? KF [/QUOTE]
