[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 7495664, member: 23751"] They absolutely do have something to do with the D&D cleric class. A real world cleric is a priest of a god or God. A D&D cleric is a priest of a god. Oh my! It's the same!! Why would I do that? They directly correspond to to real world priests. The word cleric evokes that image and it holds up. I give the exact same leeway to both. Both correspond to real world imagery, yet also have in game mechanical differences. It's not my fault if you can't understand that. I can't believe you've never heard of Conan, a real world book about barbarians that Gygax and others drew from. Drawing from it is no different than drawing on other myths for wizards. You should Google Conan and learn something. So what. First, describing something as barbaric in conditions just likens it a bit to how barbarians lived. Second, people misuse that term and many others a lot. Like calling someone who rescued a cat from a branch a hero. You probably watch the news a lot. They are notorious for playing up words incorrectly in order to make things seem more dramatic than they are. Only because of your inability to understand what is being discussed here. If you spend some time at it, you might understand and be able to give a response to what I'm saying, and not what you want me to have said. Just about everything in your post is waaaaay off as a response to me. [/QUOTE]
