[QUOTE="Xeviat, post: 7630272, member: 57494"] Celebrim, I like your style. It's an interesting idea. If I had had the time and made my 4.9 Edition that I wanted to, one of my goals was to make each class have a play mechanic that differentiated them from other classes. I also had the goal to make each class be able to be at least three of the 4 roles, with a goal that the core four (cleric, fighter, rogue, wizard) could be either of the roles. Your role would be largely dictated by your subclass. Like what you said, it would have allowed a party of all one class to be different, but each class would have unity. In my ideas, I was going to have the ranger have a pet, and their class play style would be having two units. A melee ranger with a bear would play differently from a ranged ranger with a hawk, for instance. After reading everything here, the ranger does feel less and less like it really has it's own broad identity. That's why that identity has changed as much as it has. [/QUOTE]
