Personally, I want a blackguard type class... as a striker. Because I want a heavy armor striker, and a heavy armor shadow class, so my mind sort of naturally combines the two. But that's just me.

From that thread:
Player's Option: Heroes of Shadow
Mike Mearls and Robert J. Schwalb
The Shadowfell is a cold place through which the spirits of the dead must pass on their way to...whatever. Dark, evil things live there, suffused with the power of shadow.. Some mortals in the natural world learn how to tap into this source. Assassins. Necromancers. Hexblades. By all accounts, a ruthless lot. However, not all beings that draw strength from the Shadowfell are vile, blackhearted fiends. A few even dare to call themselves heroes, using the power of darkness to fight darkness. Are they evil? No. Deeply disturbed and hounded by their own dark demons? You bet.
Player's Options: Heroes of Shadow focuses on characters that fight evil in ways that make others cringe. In addition to exploring the nature of the shadow power source, this book presents races, classes, feats, powers, and other options aimed at players hungry to play the archetypal antihero with a dark edge.
320 page trade paperback (6x9), $19.95

I can't wait until this comes out. Hexblades and Necromancers are 2 of my favorite classes.

I'm really confused as to how they plan to progress in future. Will there be no Arcane Power 2, Divine Power 2 or similar? What of the hardcover general DM splat books like Plane above and such? Will we still be getting books on the Feywild and Shadowfell and such? Or are they going to disappear into some strange paperback book?
I'm also not really happy about paperback books. I've always preferred hardcover books, but then again the cheaper price is something I can get into.

I do think we need a heavy armored striker. We also need a new range-centric Striker.
A suggestion I once made for the Hexblade that was pretty popular was for its Daily powers to modify its mark punishment mechanism. With Dailies having names like 'Curse of...'.
I can also see a Necromancer pet class with polymorphing powers for its pet and powers that give it debilitating auras.
the mention of 'powers' suggest to me we might indeed see shadowy options, like those Necromancy themed powers (what was the name of that article... 'Secrets of the Forbidden City' or something?), for various classes.
I love Horseshoecrabfolk.
What I love most about them is that they seem to be the one thing that we all can agree on.
See for yourself, click here!

Don't forget the artificer. Arcane power was out before Eberon so nothing in it for them.
The sea looks at the stabillity of the mountian and sighs.
The mountian watches the freedom of the sea and cries.

Huh.
Maybe theyl only publish paperbacks, until all the rules and errata stabilize. Only after that theyl publish the hardcovers?

This sounds like the Player's Strategy Guide. With advice on how to play characters that are more evil than supported by the Player's Handbook.
