So it's a fighter with druid wildshape. Seems like they are just making up classes to fill the book (and still no monk).

Hey Oz,

You're right. Sooner or later there will be one class for every role for every power source.

We won't be seeing monk anytime soon. PHB II won't be introducing the ki power source just yet. Hopefully in PHB III?

It seems to be me they are just splitting up the functions that one class could handle in 3.x.
