[QUOTE="SKyOdin, post: 5787392, member: 57939"] The Paladin is more that a multiclass Cleric/Fighter, it is a holy knight with unique Smite Evil and Lay on Hands mechanics. The Druid isn't just a Cleric, it's one that can turn into a bear, a hawk, or a snake. A Ranger is at home in the wilderness in a way that rogue or fighter aren't, and always has his animal companion at his side. A Bard is more than a spellcaster, it is someone who makes their songs truly come alive. A Barbarian isn't just a fighter, it is a warrior that ignores the Fighter's fancy fighting techniques and uses the power of [B]rage[/B]. A Monk doesn't have a shred of Rogue in it, and draws of the power of ki to achieve supernatural effects very unlike the Fighter. A Swordmage can't just be a fighter borrowing a few wizard spells, it needs to be a mage who can channel his spells through his weapons in a way that neither class can achieve alone. A wide variety of classes, each of which possess their own flavor and mechanics, is not a bad thing. There is a lot that can be done by creating a new class that can't be done within the framework of an existing class. [/QUOTE]
