[QUOTE="Mongoose_Matt, post: 814491, member: 239"] Well, this is it really - there are only so many standard classes a campaign needs and the PHB does a pretty good job at covering them! What the Power Classes are designed to do is introduce strong archetypes to players. For example, the Assassin (which I am playing right now in a campaign, actually) is there for players with a more murderous intent who want something more dedicated than the Rogue and who want to avoid the spellcasting of the prestige class (not to mention the wait before prerequisites are met). The Knight was designed to replace the Fighter in a campaign where the line up might be Ranger, Barbarian and Knight. Some will fit in well in any campaign (the Assassin, for example), while others are, by necessity, very specific - our way of thinking is that, for $2.95, you cannot really go wrong and most campaign maps are large enough to accomodate most archetypes somewhere! What has surprised me is the popularity of the Hedge Wizard - the best selling by far. So, over to you chaps - what is it about the Hedge Wizard that tickes you so much? :) [/QUOTE]
