[QUOTE="OchreJelly, post: 4154887, member: 62056"] As a DM, the only thing that bothered me in the past was cross-referencing. If a "non-core" class had a spell list where half the spells where in book A, and the rest in book B I was less inclined to use that class as an NPC. That's just one example of cross-referencing and I'm sure other DM's can think of others. Of course the flip-side to that is PC's and NPC's don't share the same build rules, to which I'm grateful. I feel 4E is making strides to addressing these issues. For the record, I feel that cross-referencing isn't as big a problem from the players side as I do the DM's side. They [I]will[/I] introduce new classes in "non-core" books, but it's my impression that they are self-contained. As new classes are introduced, new monster supplements will incorporate those classes as NPC listings. I would actually buy a monster manual style book that is nothing but "classed" NPC's across all tiers - a Rogue's Gallery! [/QUOTE]
