There are several basic archetypes that can't be made.  A good skill monkey without sneak attack, and a non-combative priest.4) Nerfed DMG prestige classes- the assassin and the shadowdancer are the only ones that do not siginficantly boost the power of the core classes at almost no cost. The loremaster is the worst culprit here, being a no-brainer for Diviners, which are already the best wizard specialists without the class. I want the prestige classes to have a 1 to 1 balance correspondence with the PHB classes rather than being blatant power ups.5) Nerfed wands. Damage spells and healing spells aren't that problematic, but in general the idea that a spell trigger is less expensive per shot than a spell completion is absurd.6) a flexible monk- it would be nice if there were several paths of powers that you could mix and match, so that you could do things like making sumo wrestlers who didn't have the movement capabilities and such- the monk is still my favorite class, but this would be nice, though difficult to balance7) Organizations and roleplaying requirements for all prestige classes (at least examples)- without these, the classes are nothing but munchkinizing.8) Nerfed archery- rapid shot and stacking enhancement bonuses make archery better than any other form of combat- it's got enough advantage as long as you're not retarded simply because of range- you have to use strategy without these, but with them when you do use strategy archery is horribly broken- i'd rather them assume non-retarded players, but that's not likely with the diablo generation being so dominant</blockquote>
