Wulf,
Fair enough although entirely new base classes and altering the racial abilities are the one area of 3e that I have never felt comfortable (except for humans). I have no problems with class variants per customizing, fixing multiclassing dipping and save bonus stacking, adapting from pre 3e and other systems, or a bunch of other things to tailor my game. For some reason, the block comes with just the two mentioned areas
By the way, I pimped the Trailblazer preview over at the WOTC boards in a thread on "How to fix 3.5, without massive house rules". Obviously, it's house ruling, but it fit the conversation of the thread. Your timing could not have been more perfect
