[QUOTE="Ratskinner, post: 5893043, member: 6688937"] That's actually not as clear cut as it may seem. 2e had 4 "superclasses" and a character's actual class was a subclass of that. So Fighter was a subclass of the Warrior class, IIRC. Druid was just a specialty cleric build. So which Druid are we in for? The recent Cleric article makes it sound like we might be in for the "subclass" version. Whether that means "by using the Treehugger theme applied to Cleric" or something else, is unclear. Also, the answer might be different if you're playing the "basic" or "advanced" versions, or with different "modules" turned on or off. Also, in the more nitpicky department, they didn't specify that all the old classes would be included [I]as classes.[/I] It could be that some get "demoted" to a theme. Although, I feel, "demoted" is a bad word choice. Let's say Assassin is a theme, not a classe. That's actually awesome! Now you can be a Fighter-Assassin or a Wizard-Assassin, etc. [/QUOTE]
