In addition to the existing classes from the PHB, this would include the swashbuckler, the assassin, the warlock, and stuff like that. If a class isn't built around an archetype strong enough to sustain a full 20 level progression, IMHO it doesn't deserve a spot in the core rules.  I think that everyone agrees that the Vancian magic system is starting to look dated. But it's one of the classic features of D&D...so should be offered as an option for those who want to use it. I'd love to see this too. Didn't Rolemaster have items that gave the equivalent of a MAB bonus?  I'd also love to see things like synergy bonuses dropped. They don't add much to the game and make character creation more complicated.  It's interesting that a consensus about what is needed is starting to emerge. Maybe it's time to start thinking about 4e after all.So when will WoTC start to send out playtest NDAs.... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
