[QUOTE="delericho, post: 5527811, member: 22424"] You're very unlikely to ever get a definitive answer either way. More than likely, you'll never see [i]much[/i] support for these 'niche' classes. You might see [i]some[/i], most likely in the form of the occasional Dragon article. Put simply: most people play the "big four" classes, so these will always see the lion's share of support. WotC simply [i]have[/i] to tailor their offering towards the broadest possible base. (Now, ideally, they'd have a license in place allowing third parties to provide support for niche topics...) As above, you're unlikely to ever see much support, for much the same reason. As you go up the tiers, the number of people playing inevitably decreases. Therefore, if there's a choice between "yet another Heroic book" or "the first Epic book", the Heroic book will always win - there's just a bigger market (and there always will be, even when Heroic support is [i]really[/i] saturated). The unfortunate irony is that Epic play probably needs [i]more[/i] support than the lower levels (especially for DMs), and so if WotC don't provide the support then it will always be relatively underused.

No. But at the same time, I think it's extremely unlikely that two of the three will ever be resolved to your satisfaction. [/QUOTE]
