"Should" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. I will say, however, that I do think that Magic the Gathering would be an interesting place to start when considering archetypes for at least caster classes. The five colors of the pie, IMHO, provide a pretty good spread of both archetypes and playstyles, especially for different varieties of mages. I will not go so far as to say that this is what D&D should do, but I would at least consider this design space. Could even take a cue from 4e as per [USER=6790260]@EzekielRaiden[/USER] and use the five colors for the power sources and then design classes with different roles using these power sources.</blockquote>
