new character suggestions... just throwing ideas around... bored here

alchemist

egyptian warrior... raise mummy.. hahaha

demons.. how about for a change, the demon becomes the hero instead of the usual theme of the hero gets corrupted by evil...

hmmm...|||I like the idea of a demon protagonist if only because it would cement the whole idea that the lines between good and evil are blurring, which would make for a pretty interesting game. However I'm not sure it'll go that way to that extent, I think the player characters are likely to stay human. Alchemist and desert warrior are interesting ideas too, though the alchemist (as I'd imagine it) is fairly similar to witch doctor. The more I think about it, a warrior from the deserts would fit right in, as paladins in D2 were simply holy warriors from Kurast.

There'd be some irony if we could play characters that looked like act 2 mercs from D2 .

As for classes that I'd like to see: definitely an archer of some kind, definitely a stealth class (like assassin, or thieves in D&D), and hopefully either pro-group skills for most classes, or a group-centric class like Paladin was in D2. Maybe the alchemist could be a powerful support / ranged class (potion flinging!).|||yeah, i'd like a stealth assassin with invisible skills n attacks. pass through mobs without being detected. maybe also new weapons like knuckles. i'd also like an angel maybe in human form... can't think of what skills he/she might possibly have though. the power of the heavens constrained by the human body..|||Egyption Warrior is from Egypt, Earth. Not Sanctuary. But there could be a "wierd fighter" just as the paladin in original d2 release with the barb being the "pure fighter". There was also a "wierd mage", the necro, whereas the sorc was a "pure mage"

AlexanderM,

I figgure they would have to blend a bow expert and theif into one chr. They only have 3 slots remaining for chr's...

But then again, they recently said there won't be any more returning d1-2 heros. So if not the rogue, then what??|||@stillman

my bad.. correction: "desert" or "weird" fighter. are they really only having 5 characters for d3. for me, thats too little and would lack versatility and choices to choose from. are they planning to add more chrs for an expansion??|||I'm convinced that they'll add atleast 2 more chars in an expansion. No doubt.|||it would be nice if the monk returns, i'm itchin for one exceptional soloing class...:|||Something tells me we'll see a revamp to a monk type class...its not something Blizzard has done all that often (not since the expac for D1)

Me, I�d like to see something totally unique to the Diablo world...something like a Machinist, I�m thinking, part wowtype engineer part Mechanical based necromancer type char

i'd like to see the class be the replacement of the phys. ranged class. Using Guns are the obvious way to do this but there are other things that could be done as well, if you're not a fan of guns. (many aren't)

talent trees could be something along the lines of:

-Bot mechanics-(dismantle items and build parts into pet bots)

-explosives- things that go boom(looks like the witchdoctor is gonna have the market cornered on this one)

-Tools-Create your own trinkets usable in conjunction with your main weapon(in combat you could slap on a trink to give a unique effect to a particular weapon)

these are all just generic ideas naturally, I�m not the creative type but I think Blizz devs could do a good job with something like that.|||it's been speculated on in the character skills thread. but a hunter would easily combine skills from varying classes in d2.

traps and archery being the first 2 skill trees some form of shifting, camoflage, nature, or other passive only skill tree being the 3rd.|||This might be extreme, but I would like to see a futuristic soldier and maybe a Shaolin Monk.
