[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 9168710, member: 6704184"] I wish people weren’t so wrong about what is actually a problem in these classes and their names. You could use Kensei as a class name in D&D, without uproar. You just have to write it to actually respectfully and reasonably model the Japanese Sword-Saint. Do the what now to the who there!? I agree. It’s good for the game to have some degree of overlap between classes. The Crusades are largely viewed as an immoral series of wars of European aggression and conquest, and the Templars as popular icons of those invasions and occupations, so…I doubt it. The conquistadores were savage invaders and oppressors, slavers, mass rapists, and genocidal psychopaths. As a descendent of both these monsters and their victims, I will always be perfectly comfortable using them as evil villains. Because they were. Like the Nazis. It’s always okay to make them the evil monsters that have to be defeated. Neither makes the Spanish nor the Germans into evil villains as a people. Turbans are currently worn by a Sikhs more than anyone else, who have never been an oppressing force, but have been marginalized and had to defend themselves against oppressors. The two examples are not like cases. [/QUOTE]
