Revision

I've added three parameters: editions, power (for power source) and role. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 23:17, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

I've added additional parameters to more cleanly separate editions as a standard / core class from editions as an alternate class, and to more cleanly present information on classes with both primary and secondary roles. There's probably a cleaner way to do it with ParserFunctions, however I'm not familiar with them or with Template:Infobox. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 07:20, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Thumperward. I've reduced the size of the as a standard class and as an alternate class labels. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 02:52, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Roles and power sources

Being that these only ever really applied to one edition that was only really supported for a period of 4 years out of the 41 year history of D&D, and that that's not the most recent edition, isn't the inclusion of these as the first things in the infobox after the class name a little bit WP:UNDUE? All things considered the info is unneeded, and a bit too much game mechanics for the infobox. I'm going to comment them out for now. oknazevad (talk) 05:21, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
