Message: <blockquote data-quote="LuisCarlos17f" data-source="post: 9773559" data-attributes="member: 6802378">A ranger is a fighter with a piece of stealth and primal magic, and a witcher is like Bane(Batman enemy) with some magic tricks.The artificer can disarm traps like rogues.A magic-martial class can't be only a wizard with armour because then that would be a warmage. Teorically the "duskblade" is focused into close range, although a magic weapon with long range, for example a spiked chain, is a different thing, or a returning throwing axe.Other point is if duskblade was published but later the martial adepts were updated the the previous gish class may become obsolete. Why to choose a class who becomes weaker after spending all the spell slots? The martial adepts have got a faster reload.Somebody could say a "spirit spellcaster"+martial hybrid class would be more logical than arcane+martial. But then other could answer the psionic warrior should be only a fighter subclass.And the classes aren't only a list of class features. WotC wants each class and subclass with its own mark of identity. A swordmage or duskblade can't be only a flamethrower with armour. It needs an interesting lore or background. Here the "dragonknight" or "dragoon" (mounted infantery) could be more comercial or "mainstream".  Other option could be a warrior linked to a simbiotic sentient weapon, armour or item, working this like a partial-time second PC, A spellcaster with "mysteries" like the shadowcaster could need a lot of playtesting because she would spend the spell sooner than warlock and it would need to stop more times to reload. A "mystery-user" class like the shadowcaster from 3.5 Tome of Magic is possible but it may be the last to be playtested. I imagine those future "mysteries" to be about different elements (metal, wood, water, fire, air, earth) and not only shadow.* I dare to say the witcher is more supersoldier-serum with batbelt, or said with other words: Captain America with gadgets from Batman's belt * The blood hunter is a "monster-touched" class but officially it is by a 3PP and we are talking about possible classes created and published by WotC, aren't we?</blockquote>
