Message: <blockquote data-quote="-Avalon-" data-source="post: 4914953" data-attributes="member: 66363">This I can agree with.  I thought that the MMO Vanguard actually did classes very well, where you had basically 3 classes at any given time...I think I would like a game where you have a combat class and a non-combat class.  Even if both are modular.  But the modular I appreciated most was the ToB from 3.5... where there wasn't a daily/Encounter/At-Will at all, just powers.  Why couldn't we make part of what defines each class be the simple mechanics of how you regain the powers?  My friend played a warblade base, and I played a crusader base.  We pretty much did the same "overall" thing as basically defenders, but our characters were night and day due to HOW we regained those powers...Also, as an aside, I actually _reall_ liked 1st and 2nd edition and am an old-school player who also really likes grimtooth's traps... I liked having my characters' hands cut off, a lung lost because it was punctured, etc etc... I felt those things made my character memorable, and made me actually think about what I was doing and become more imaginative about how to work around such detriments (IE my one-handed ranger with the sword grafted onto his arm, yeah it's -2 to hit additional, but when I fight, people will remember, and tell tales of me in a bar!)</blockquote>
