A good example is the Swashbuckler class. Essentially a Fghter but with full access to certain Rogue skills like jump and tumble that a normal Ffighter would only have half access to. If I wanted to make a Fighter the equal to a Sqashbuckler I'd have to cross class with Rogue to do it, gaining access to class skills I want as well as many I probably don't.Another problem is one of the European human-centricness of D&D. Let us take a look at Elves. They are usually said to be magical by nature, and certainly they take nature more seriously than most humans yet they are confined to the same classes as a human is. While a Ranger or a Druid may fit, how does the western version of a wizard mesh with what the ELVES might have as a wizard? At the very least Elven Wizards should be duskblades if for no other reason than their society does not seem to seperate the physical from the mental and spiritual. They ALL have access to long swords and bows regardless of class, which to me points to distinct cultural differences.I guess my question is one of importance. Is it more important to be an Elf or a Fighter? Does the background you make even matter when it comes to the class you choose? The sterotypes associated with each race do not always mesh well, in my opinion, with the sterotypes of each class. How can you carefully construct a character, yet be constantly barred or limited in the choices you'd like to make when chosing skills?</blockquote>
