[QUOTE="Almacov, post: 5398518, member: 15613"] I was one of the folks out there who really loved the 3.5 Tome of Magic. As such, I'd like to see [B]A Full Binder Class[/B], not just a Warlock build. It can build on lore from Arcane Power, but it would be really nice to see something more reflective of the original class again. If part of the shift to essentials was about allowing them the freedom to experiment with different power structures, and including a larger portion of flavour text tied to those powers, the Binder seems like an ideal step. However, I have my doubts as to whether they'd reach the drippingly juicy awesomeness of the original class flavour-wise, or if they'd have the balls to base their text and imagery off of goetic magic again. Even if they felt the need to put out something tamer though, I'd love to see them give it a shot. (And yes, one of my favourite 3.5 characters was a Binder.) [B]A Shadowcaster Reconception by Ari[/B] - I have no doubt there will be some good stuff in Heroes of Shadow, but a lot of people would still like to see the power source's potential darkly shine with another full class or two, and this Tome of Magic class was, again, very flavourful. If I trust anyone to do a good job expanding it and helping it reach its [I]full[/I] potential, it's still Mouseferatu, who wrote the 3.5 class. As for other classes/builds, I'd like to see someone attempt a [B]Divination School for Mages[/B] with a bit of a Leader spin put on it. I think someone could get really creative with it. (Moreso, I think they'd [I]have[/I] to, to do it properly.) And I'm also curious to see what [B]Essentials Psionics Classes[/B] would look like, now that they've learned a few lessons and are even [I]more[/I] free to experiment with structure. [/QUOTE]
