I think you can see that we do have a healthy interest in color and world setting but there is a lurking fear, being new to the system, that one could end up with a lemon. Plus, having arranged the test runs, I was a little concerned that our group was reading too much into their first impressions so everyone's thoughts here, including Turtle's nice run down of all the classes, have been quite useful.  My personal impression is that 4E has done a nice job of balancing the classes to the point where I'd seriously consider races and classes that previously had little appeal to me, including half-orcs and gnomes which have never previously had any appeal. Alas, our painter isn't much for half-orcs and gnomes so we won't have any of those in our figure offering. One thing we do which may also help is that players will actually choose two characters in our draft process and will be able to switch between the two so in addition to having a back-up should their prime character meet with an untimely end, they can switch to the other character if they find they can't stand the first one.</blockquote>
