[QUOTE="SteveC, post: 9137546, member: 9053"] Another thing that came to mind that I wish WotC would do in the new edition. Put front and center that the DM is expected to limit the classes in their game based on the game world. With that said, you could have a Wuxia "light step" Fighter or a inspirational Warlord with the expectation that they might not exist in the same world as, say, a Champion or a Cleric. Make a suggested list of classes by campaign type. All too often, I see "if it's in a WotC product it's okay for the game." I think there are a number of really reasonable people in this discussion that don't want Wuxia fighters in their game and don't like martial healing either. And I definitely respect that. Just make the assumption that every game will have a pick of classes made by the DM with the assistance of the players. That way you have "official" classes, and you don't have them in your game if you don't want to. And with that make sure that you have the basis of roles covered even if you don't call them out by that name. Now I know that many of the DMs in this thread will say "I already do that," and that's great, but I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to that first time DM who likely just assumes that if it's in the game, it will be in [B]their [/B]game. [/QUOTE]
