Wow, I really like the part about DMs working with players to create their own subclasses that fit for their campaign and story. I also like the part about subclasses focusing on fluff and background, thus, the are things like Knight and not Defender (defender/slayer can be dealt with through feat and expertise dice maneuver selections). I like where subclasses are going!

4E edition was very Controller based, like confusing, slowing, stunning, dominating enemies and even going as far as scrambling their positions on the battlefield. The 4E Psion is a perfect example of how they are not the Wizard, even though they are both Controllers, and with augments (similar things already in the packet) I think they could easily stand on their own. Subroles could be Telepath, Kenetic, Shaper and maybe even Psychic Warrior, to roll them into a single class.

The idea of subsystems being placed on top of the core system is very appealing to me. I have been a heavy user of house rules across my D&D experience (Basic Set through to 4e). What I think would be an outstanding add-on to D&D Next would be a generic set of guidelines that allows DMs to develop their own subsystems in a controlled and balanced way...
I'm excited about the developments occurring with D&D and look forward to hearing about developments...despite truly enjoying...

I can see the narrative combat module becoming a mainstay in my group, however, are there plans to include spell options? I would like to see the return of 3E meta-magic feats (i.e. Enlarge Spell) and this would be a perfect fit for them. As spellcaster declares if they want to "enlarge" a spell and take the appropriate modifier to their attack; this makes spells more dynamic in combat.

I agree on the bard, a fighter/rogue/bard-druid would be great.
Though a specialist option to become a bard would be fine.
Rangers could be rogue/fighter/cleric with specialist option.
Paladins could be fighter/cleric with specialist option.
Since many class options can be taken care of with background/specialist options, perhaps the additional classes should be built in multiclasses, so avenger for fighter/cleric, then add paladin or ranger specialty. This would make 10...

I cast my vote for the Grizzowl. I had always thought of the beast in terms of the Gryphon as a combined creature (not that the Owlbear belongs to Greek mythology).
Do you plan on illustrating a mating pair, as the original concept indicates? with a lean enough frame on the female Grizzowl, could wings actually come into play?
The idea of a mating pair should bring potential for more realism with this creature, and it certainly gives great opportunities for DM's who could imagine the...

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...
