[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 5336844, member: 20323"] I actually wish the spellcasters had been more simplified! You don't hear that on these boards everyday :) The Essentials seem a great way to introduce kids, significant others, ESL students, casual gamers, players with learning disabilities, and even hardend gamers dropping into a high-level campaign. Requiring greater rules mastery for new players who want to throw fireballs seems goofy if you're trying to widen the net of D&D players. Maybe the warlock will be the Essentials "easy mode" caster? As a tangent some sort of Essentials - 4e Core bridging product makes a lot of sense, at least with advice along the lines of "Like your slayer fighter? Ready for more options? Try the barbarian! The same two handed blood and grit you love, this time with deep-seated anger issues and psychadelic spirit buddies!" [/QUOTE]
