[QUOTE="Falling Icicle, post: 4087821, member: 17077"] One possibility is that some classes in the future may not be confined to a single role. Depending on their path/power selection, they may be able to chose their role. For example, I could imagine a Druid that could be either a defender/striker (by focusing on wild shape type powers) or controller (by focusing more on plant, elemental and storm powers). Likewise, I could see a Monk being able to be either a defender or striker, depending upon his "school." With a stretch, I could even see them as a martial controller. Some classes, like Necromancers, may not neatly fit into any role at all, but are jack-of-all-roles types. This may be the reason that these classes were witheld from the PHB, they may have wanted to have only those classes that neatly fit one of the the 4 roles in the core book. Saving classes that don't fit into one of the roles, or that can chose their role, for future supplements makes sense to me. [/QUOTE]
