By 1979, it was too late and you had fighter, thief, ranger, paladin, assassin and monk. You have to smother that infant in 1975, and take the druid out at the same time before that gains traction and creates a billion caster variants with it.Has any good ever come from splitting the fighting man into the fighter and the thief/rogue? I think not.
Yes, because Bilbo and Boromir famously had the same skills in combat and stealth...Honestly, they should be re-merged into one. It would solve so many problems that "mundane" heroes face by giving them great skills and great swordsplay to compete with more magical types, and also curtail the annoying people who like the play a rogue as an excuse to be a kleptomaniac jerk.
I see no downsides to the merge.

Yeah I mean I think it's been pretty well covered all of the edgy reasons why Tieflings are popular.
But to give them some credit, I think it's also because so few DMs bake Tieflings into their setting as anything more than random anomalies.
Bilbo famously started his first adventure with a ring of invisibility.
