[QUOTE="Atlatl Jones, post: 4087875, member: 54620"] I mostly agree. I'm only quoting the ones I'm more doubtful about. How do we know it's not striker? IIRC, the races & classes book, or one of the designers, said that with the monk's emphasis on fast movement it's an archetypal striker. My money's on Primal Defender. Strikers are supposed to be fragile, relying on movement to stay safe, and they deal damage to single targets. Barbarians, archetypally, wade into the fray, attacking hordes of opponents as easily as a single tough opponent. The races & classes book said that 4e druid powers will focus on shapeshifting. I have no idea what role they will be. The problem is that 3e druids are controllers, leaders, and defenders all in one. My guess is that they'll either be Someone said somewhere that the illusionist and necromancer will be of the Shadow power source. Or maybe it was in the worlds book that that was written. I would love that, as long as they created some new interesting, spirit-related flavor for it. The OA shaman was a tweaked cleric, and the spirit shaman was a tweaked druid. I don't think this should be its own class. IMO it's crying out to be a paragon path. Could be. It could also be a primal leader, or even a controller. I wouldn't be surprised if it was another arcane controller, or a primal controller. The races & classes book had some interesting ideas about how to make it distinctive. [/QUOTE]
