For the "not required" list, I am suggesting that
you should feel free to state (for example) how
you would fit non-Mystaran classes such as the
swordmage and the artificer into the setting,
but not to convert any established character to
either of these classes (as that conversion
would either give too much information (if
written for somebody who does not have
the "not required" book) or be unusable by
many people in our target audience (if
written for someboy who does have the
"not required" book).
What do the rest of you think?
