[QUOTE="Duganson, post: 6717150, member: 1059"] There is a conceptual home for the Psion/Mystic in D&D and I for one really am looking forward to its inclusion. The Artificer I [I]could[/I] get behind, as there are certainly character concepts that fit the D&D ouvre (Eberron in particular but also Lantanese inventors in FR). Additionally there are some ready packaged archetypes for the Artificer that just beg to be made: Alchemist, Apothecary, Pyrotechnic, Fetishist (that's my favorite...);) I believe the idea mentioned above by jrowland is worth going back to: "I wonder if there is room for a "Universal Pet Class"? A single class with multiple sub-classes to cover things like the Beastmaster Ranger, or perhaps even a summoner? Not sure how you would do it, mechanically, but I think there is a "problem" with pet classes and perhaps that's because they are designed in whole cloth as a pet class." Okay, Paladins call mounts, Rangers make friends, PCs that can cast rituals have access to familiars but there are characters in D&D lore that have an even deeper connection to their 'pets' then any of these examples can muster in the current edition. Guenhwyvar is more than a Ranger's animal companion to Drizzt. Dragonlance has Dragonriders, drawing a blank on more though there are a million D&D adjacent examples). I could see that being ripe for possible material... As for things like the Warlord I believe there is plenty more that the design department can give us to bolster existing classes and archetypes to recreate previous edition characters. My hope is they are actively working on that because like it or not a Battlemaster with a middling Intelligence or Charisma and one rallying feat does not a Warlord make. [/QUOTE]
