Specifically the Keepers robes & staff came from the highland dragon in The pools of Sun Colosiuem in Emprise Du Lion. I also got a Keepers staff masterwork schematic from a dragon. Both are endgame masterwork schematics with over 250 defense so far. Hopefully, BioWare does innovate on its approach, especially with recent lore discoveries such as the Titans and seemingly- dwarven magic, but there's no need to abandon the warrior-mage-rogue structure of its world to do so. Keeper Robes & Dalish Scout Armor are elf exclusive. When the elves settled their second homeland, the Dales, they aimed to restore their lost language and lore, but the Dales fell after an Exalted March declared by the Chantry in the early Glory Age. It's an interesting concept, one that fits neatly into the world and mythos of Thedas as it stands. The Elven language, or 'Elvish', was largely lost when Elvhenan fell to the Tevinter Imperium and its people were enslaved around two millennia before the Dragon Age. It seems they'll be able to make a Mage that's purely stand-in-the-back and shoot magic, but it also seems they may be able to specialize into a way of shooting magical arrows as well. Inevitably, some day, players will get to dive into Dragon Age 4. Indeed, BioWare RPGs tend to excel in this department with Anthem's Javelins being conceptually interesting and Mass Effect's Sci-Fi classes being real stand outs(with cross-class distinctions possible there as well), so there's no need to fix something that isn't broken. Not everything has to be Skyrim, and not everything has to be open to be a fun RPG. Reducing Dragon Age's classes to something akin to one huge and broad skill tree not only violates lore about Mages and makes unique Warrior factions like the Grey Wardens less unique, but it really risks the identity of the franchise. With that possibility in mind, it does make Dragon Age 4 stepping away from this structure seem far less likely. Overall, with the prominence of Magic in the Imperium, it'll be interesting to see how magic is used, discussed, and more by hopefully non-magic users in the game. After all, with Dragon Age 4 set in Tevinter, it's likely player see Mages perform new types of magic that hasn't been seen before. It may be a faction and thus a Mage/Rogue specialization that lets them wield ranged weapons with magic. In short, it's entirely possible the aforementioned Magic-Ranged classes are something akin to an Arcane Archer. All of this is to say that this any unique class combos coming to Dragon Age 4 don't really have to change anything. Dragon Age: Inquisition continued this theme, with the Knight-Enchanter specialization manifesting a sword for Mages and the Tempest specialization giving Rogue's Mage-like abilities explained through alchemy. For example, the Arcane Warrior specialization in Dragon Age: Origins allowed a Mage to wear armor and wield melee weapons, really changing the overall approach to playing a Mage.Д®ven the Warrior's Reaver specialization could be seen as a crossover with Blood Magic, though channeled differently with slightly adjusted lore. Beyond the three core classes, every game has featured specializations, and some of these specializations fundamentally change a class.

First off, it's worth discussing how cross-classes, at least in concept, aren't exactly new to the franchise.
