[QUOTE="Falling Icicle, post: 3861761, member: 17077"] Pardon me, I meant to say Illusion and Necromancy. The lack of any "school" specializing in those types of magic could be a hint of their absence. The 4 specialties listed are enchantment, fire, force/thunder and cold/acid. 1 enchanter and 3 evokers. That's a far cry from the 8 schools we have now. The list in the article may not be complete, and I certainly hope it's not. Neither of those things have been officially announced and are still subject to change. Perhaps, if enugh people voice their dissatisfaction, WotC will change their minds and include them. The whole reason they left them out is probably because they're under the impression that not enough people care about them. And no, I haven't made a decision as to whether or not I'm going to get on the 4e boat yet, but thank you very much for attempting to read my mind and make a pronouncement for me. In the future, I'll be sure to pay you the same (lack of) courtesy. Wow, I merely express my opinion and get flamed. What are you so defensive about? Why do you care whether I play 4e or not? If you like everything you've heard so far, well good for you. Why does it bother you so much that I don't? I don't personally attack those who have been singing 4e's praises simply because their opinions differ from mine. But then, I've never really been one to be offended simply because someone doesn't agree with my view. You should try it. It will make your life less stressful. What is "true" D&D? Well, the D&D I've been playing for almost 2 decades, with the old Elves and elemental planes and demons, to make the list very short, as that's only barely touching on all of the fluff changes they're making and that I'd rather not list here.
