[QUOTE="ashockney, post: 3709017, member: 1363"] It meant, out of the player's handbook, because the way they're going to flesh everything out more in 4e for better balance, you will not be able to play a "blink dog fighter" at first level. Instead, they are going to spend the time and energy necessary to really balance things out so that each race they make/print/publish will be playable from the get-go. They said they fully intend to still have the ability to play anything there will be a demand for, plus a whole bunch of cool things they'll make up that nobody's thought of. However, it will not all be in the PH in the beginning. Or, in a format where you can just say, "Oh, a Blink Dog is this, so if my little brother wants to play a blink dog fighter, I'll just make him a Blink Dog (template) + a Level 1 Fighter". Mike was talking about how the Dwarven Fighter and an Elven Fighter will be noticeably different characters. He was referencing an example of how he want his dwarf to be able to just "stand there and take it" and not go down, not go down, not go down, etc. He got really excited, and it sounded like he was referencing a character he'd played in a recent playtest, and that it had "worked out" that way.
