with just a few short weeks left until the class decks release we still dont know much about their contents aside from:
1. 4 characters 2 known names a piece
2. less than 30 basic boons to start per deck
3. several "unique" boons for characters like poisons for the rouges.
so what are you hoping for in your class decks come this august?
having preorded the sorceror and wizard decks im hoping one of the character is a conjoror that deals with elementals. maybe represented by having them as allies in their deck that can be fetched with spells.
To be honest, I'm fairly confused by class decks;
- will the characters be useable on normal APs, or just in the OP scenarios?
- if you can use them on normal APs, do you use the deck, or just the character?
- can you reverse it - use an RotR (or S&S) character with a class deck?
- can you have a mixed party: some class decks and some normal characters?
I'm thinking about ordering a few, but until I can get my head around how they work, I'm a bit wary.

1. Yes you can use the class decks in the regular AP's, such as I could get the new rogue deck that has a poisoner and use him and the poison cards that comes in that deck
2. Most likely you will want to use the deck. Vic says here you would probably want to add the deck to the AP but I would not see a problem with using the Deck how it would be used in the OP. I.E. at the end of the scenario you trade out the cards you got from the AP for your Class Deck cards
3. You can use a character from the AP's with the corresponding class deck, such as RotR Valero's with the fighter class deck.
4. Yes that should not change anything with the AP other then the characters that come with that AP are usually going to be more focused for that AP. S&S Valeros is different then RotR Valeros.

I am interested in seeing how they do the Necromancer. I can see them doing the necromancer how you are taking about summoning but only with the undead. Or something like the summon monster scroll in RotR but only with undead.
Also for the ranger (or fighter) to have more stuff to do with two weapon fighting.
In the cleric deck it looks like there is a Cleric of Nethys (god of magic and knowledge) I am interested to see his role cards and am wondering if there will be one for Mystic Theurge (half cleric half wizard) for him. If you can go by the picture on the box he is the second one with half his head shaved.

undead allies certainly sound interesting. as far as the mystic theurge goes, we already have bards mixing divine and arcane so a hard flavor match will be difficult for sure.
Were the class decks available at Paizo Con? Just wondered if anyone who attended got to see/preview any of the cards and characters.
