Brainstorming a setting for a Tier 4 classes only game

[Nifft]

In the list I used, they placed Warlock/Psychic Rogue in Tier 3 and Dragon Shaman/Hexblade in Tier 5. Further down the thread they have a brief summary for why every class is where it is. Apparently this revised list was put together by committee.

If UMD was a justification, you should discount it in this setting -- arbitrary magic item crafting won't be so easy to come by.
