I'm pretty sure you have, since they've existed as long as the game.In fact, what they are doing is increasing the amount of customization of all character types, even more than 3rd edition had.Roles have always existed. Experienced players understand this, and usually know how to make characters to fill a role (3rd edition has an exception, as even an experienced player can build a character that is completely useless), but new players don't necessarily understand that kind of thing. They're just taking what already existed and making it visible to everyone, while making sure everyone has a function they can fill.</blockquote>
