4E - Compiled info on upcoming classes

Diese Zusammenfassung fand ich ganz interessant:

Zitat

So I've decided to try and gather links to sources of info about upcoming classes and power sources, in the hopes that it'll help people (like me, for instance) stay caught up on all the info. I'm not repeating most info that was in Races & Classes, at least for now. I'm assuming people know the basics of what a Swordmage is, for example.

"New classes are mainly going to be introduced in PHBs" (source). Martial Power will not include any new classes.

The Player's Handbook will include the Fighter, Ranger, Rogue, Warlord, Paladin, Cleric, Warlock, and Wizard. The Forgotten Realms Player's Guide will include the Swordmage.

The Player's Handbook II will include Arcane and Divine information. Primal and Psionic are the new power sources highest on the list to be included, but they're not sure how much will fit (source). It will include the Sorcerer (source), as well as classes "not unlike the Druid, Barbarian, and Bard" (source).

The Bard will be an Arcane Leader (source).

Significant Druid info here.

The Monk is not a Martial Striker, and as of D&D XP they had not seriously started designing the class (source).

The Shaman is mentioned as a class that fills the Leader role (source).

Elementalists are mentioned in the Dwarf entry in Races & Classes alongside clerics, paladins, fighters, barbarians, rangers, and wizards, so they are likely a planned class.

"WotC has identified 8 power sources that should take care of basically 90% of the classes they foresee making." (source) Known power sources are Martial, Arcane, Divine, Psionic, Shadow (from Worlds & Monsters), and Primal (source).

On The Tome, Andy Collins was asked about upcoming Controllers, and said they're still in the early design phase of the next wave of classes, but mentioned the Sorcerer is possible for that role, and they're thinking about a Divine Controller and some form of Psionic Controller. (It's at about 23:25 in the podcast.) He also mentioned "you're not going to see the Cleric throwing around Flame Strike type powers really frequently", but "when we get around to a Divine Controller class he will probably have more of those type of effects". (At about 27:30.)

Sehr interessant, danke für die Info.
Primal Power Source.. macht Sinn für Druiden, Barbaren und Schamanen.
Shadow Power Source dann wohl für Ninja's, Assassinen etc.

Aber in welche Richtung könnten die letzten beiden Power Sources gehen?

Vielleicht noch Social, für Charaktere die viel mit anderen interagieren. Aber damit würde man im Kampf natürlich nicht viel ausrichten können, ausser vielleicht den Oger davon zu überzeugen, dass er lieber den Kämpfer angreifen soll. :grin:

Das finde ich schon etwas merkwürdig. Der Rogue ist martial soweit wir wissen. Der Asassine Paragon Path soll dann Shadow sein oder wie? Und Barbarians würde ich auch eher als Martial einschätzen, vielleicht als striker / defender hybrid.
