[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9126640, member: 7030563"] You can. I said I don't, and becasue if this, I don't find classes restrictive in this regard (with the exceptions noted) There are generally no thematics that specifically apply for a class except as it relates to Warlocks and Paladins. There are no mechancial ties to them. There are stereotypes or generalities associated with the classes, but those are mutable. After Warlocks and Paladins, Clerics are probably a very distant third, but even with them there is no requirement at all to worship or pay homage to a deity and D&D fiction is filled with examples of clerics who do not worship (and in some cases even despise) their deities. Warlock and Paladin are specific because of the Pact and the Oath specifically. It is pretty hard not to have those things affect the story unless you completely handwave it away. Characters I am playing right now for example: Wizard: The Wizard I am playing right now (Halfling Bladesinger) is a worshiper of Urgolan and martial combatant. I have played her from level 1 to currently level 15. She has a spellbook, she casts spells, but they are mostly melee related, false life or summonings. If you had to sterotype her story and play style you would call her character more of a "light War Cleric or Paladin" in terms of how she acts both in social situations and in combat. Rogue: I am also playing a 2nd level Glasya Tiefling Rogue with a 19 Charisma (and 14 Dex). She is escaped from the Feywild, with a flute. She sneak attacks a lot, but she is not that effective in combat, she is mostly a face and skill person. Bard: I am playing a Kobold Shadows Bard level 6. She picked up Booming Blade. She is a really creepy apprentice of a Cloud Giant and has the new Cloud Giant feats (including one at 1st level). Her Charisma and many of his spells have a creepy angle and she is high combat melee character. Most of her bard dice go to Psychic Blades and he weaves some spells into combat. She has more of a melee play style and with psychic blades she puts out damage comparable to a stereotypical Rogue. I could play any of these characters with a similar story and almost any class, not quite any class but almost any. [/QUOTE]
