[QUOTE="M_Natas, post: 9172688, member: 7025918"] But the problem is, that the classes are a mess. They have so much mechanically and thematically overlap ... Like, there is no niche protection, there is no one party role ... Like, I was thinking the other day how I would create a psionic class. And the biggest Problem I ran into was, that either the Psionic would be like the Wizard - so versatile with its powers that it could fill most party roles - like the last UA Mystic was - or if we narrow the psionic down, it would just be "Fighter - but with psi!", "Sorcerer - but with Psi!", "Cleric, but with Psi!" - like, yeah, I could give it some different mechanics, but the endresult would be classes that are in direct competition for the same role as existing classes. And the same Problem is with Fighter, Barbarian, Monk ... especially with the new unarmed fighting style giving 1d8. They all fill the same roll, some just do it better than others. [/QUOTE]
