The way the contents are never specified is perturbing. So we're curious about monk's release and what book, wether the new swordmage will be similar to a duskblade and whether druids will have the option to take a familiar or replace wild shape with shapeshift. PLZ post a thread with certain fan requested info such as this.

The monk is still not on the radar, as far as has been determined. PHB 3 at the earliest; there's a perfectly useable version of the monk (built off the ranger) in the archives of the front page. The swordmage is only tangentially like the duskblade in that each is a one-class arcanist/warrior. I estimate a 1 in crapdillion chance of the Druid resembling the uber-broken 3rd Edition version, so 'Wild Shape' vs 'Shapeshift' is irrelevant; we don't even know if the druid will have any shapechanging ability at all, since that was one major source of rules-bending headaches and overpoweredness. There will apparently be rules for animal cannon fodder in Martial Power.

PLZ post a thread with certain fan requested info such as this. Just look at my stickied thread in this forum(I'm too lazy to type out the names). I keep track of every single piece of info uttered by a WoTC employee about future releases that I can find. With all of that put together you can get an amazing amount of info.
