Considering that this started back over a year ago with nothing in the winds...I do kinda have to wonder if this game is gonna get ANY new classes at this point or if they are looking at NW2 using the 5th ed rulset.
I suppose they could do a THIRD fighter class (and the 5th? Martial class) and make it an EK ala 5E...but that seems a bit excessive. I'd be okay with it if that was the only way for us to get a fighter/mage in this game however.
Since you all went with hard core class based system, I would like the 4E swordmage as that is probably the only thing that would make me spend any real time on this game. 5E does not mix well with the 4E stuff this game is setup for since 5E is much more like the old school 2E. I would not mind a complete class overhaul…
