Low level fighters were always peasants and one could climb the social ladder into the ruling class by being a high level fighter.Clerics were a social class too. Just like medieval europethieves were from a cast like the untouchables or vagrants or very low classNot all vagrants were thieves. Most were zero level commoners. But the thief class was a method of gaining levelswizards were mysterious people that did not use their full name. No one knew where they were from and they were feared.and we had monastic orders where everyone in them was a member of the monk classpaladins (in this setting only) because were divinely called from the untouchables or low commoner born. They were not trusted. They were warriors but like prophets from the old testament.  They were in a mission from god. And sometimes the ruling class would accuse them of being witches in league with demons.basically d&d classes can be social classes if you want to build a campaign that way. Nothing wrong with it. And it can be very fun. most NPC’s were zero level commoners. Having even one character level was a big deal.</blockquote>
