Just read a description I haven't seen before on Amazon.

New options for wizards, warlocks, sorcerers, bards, and swordmages...

This tome focuses on the arcane heroes: characters who wield strange and mysterious spells and rely on their mastery of magic for survival.

This book provides new archetypal builds for the wizard, warlock, sorcerer, bard, and swordmage classes, including new character powers, feats, paragon paths, and epic destinies.

The artificer isnt going to be in the Arcane Power book because theyve said that new classes will only be in player's handbooks and player's guides to settings.

The artificer play test is for the Eberron setting iirc.

Thank you for clarifying that.

That kind of sucks. I hope EPG has more than just Artificer.

Actually, I know next to nothing about campaign settings. I started playing in 3rd but my players and I just always made our own settings.

What else is likely to show up in Eberron? Is that the one with Psionics prancing about?

Warforged, Kalashtar, possibly stuff for Orcs and Goblins, and likely Dragonmarks as a multi-class only class. Psionics won't show up until later.

Your statement is flawed

The Artificer will be in the Eberron Players Guide. I think they said he won't be in AP because the class won't be released by the AP-date.

Flawed? Isnt that what i just said?

I just didnt mention eberron because i thought that went without saying.

Actually they said that the Artificer won't be in Arcane Power because it wasn't far enough along in development for them to develop new stuff for it while they were working on Arcane Power.
