analogue* sorry, I always do that and it makes me feel dumb.

I'm a guy. I like pretty women. But all these bikini-clad or bare-midriff adventurers are ridiculous. It makes NO SENSE. It breaks immersion. And it makes it that much harder for many girls or young women to find D&D approachable.
Also, as a guy who likes playing funny characters, I think the occasional funny-looking guy or gal is perfectly appropriate. D&D is about adventure, but there should be room for other elements, and one of those is humor.
Don't make D&D so...

Aaaaahh! Defender abjurers! Yes, yes, yes!
All other ideas are pretty damn cool as well. You deconstruct the essential elements of the classes with amazing insight. My hat's off to you, sir.

Nailing it again, even more if we take into account you posted this before Heroes of Elemental Chaos... 101% agree with the "seeds" the sorcerer is able to control. Maybe even we can work with the concept that Epic Spell introduced back in 3rd Edition with the Epic Level Handbook.

Sure you got the flavor right, now comes the hard part: how to reflect this on game terms? I think 4e did a great job in this issue, though of course it can get even better. Having sorcerers wield the elemental forces of creation seems just natural, but wouldn't that overlap the warlocks and their fiendish pacts' origins? On the other hand, you have posted previously (or was it one of our long overnight chats?) that sorcerers should have the monopoly on "on the fly" spells. I can't agree more...

Thanks! :) As I wrote more clearly in a few lines of comment to Ari's blog than in all my blogs, I'd make Warlocks the masters of "outsider magic". That is, while the Sorcerer call the "lower/raw magic" and the Wizards the more refined "academic magic" that builds upon that to create more complex things, Warlocks would use magic of the outer planes. It's less flexible because it's made by other beings and Warlocks can only channel it (that is, no metamagic like Wizards, no on-the-fly morphing...

Funny, I was thinking about those kind of tricks yesterday, and I associated them the most with the Rogue! :D Mostly because many roguish characters such as Zorro use all the objects they can find to harass enemies and create confusion... But I see what you mean, maybe I'm recovering some faith in the Fighter/Warlord distinction!

Been thinking about something similar myself: divorcing classes from combat roles, and instead embracing "kits" (to hearken back to 2nd Ed) that allow each class to fill in one of the main roles. The fighter examples I've come up with thus far are the archer (controller), warlord (leader), champion (sword-and-shield; defender), and either the Essentials slayer, or the barbarian (striker). Similarly, you could do some very cool things with the schools of magic for wizard kits... I just can't get...
