[QUOTE="howandwhy99, post: 6197248, member: 3192"] To do is to be. To be is to do. Do be do be do. In D&D the Class is the role you are playing. It's not about character play or personality play or personas. You can ignore that stuff if you prefer. Call yourself by your own name. You can't say "it was my character who hit you" as it was you the player who chose to hit him. Well you used your imaginary puppet to hit his, but it's still coming from you. The characters are like suits, it is the class role as defined by the game you are playing at. Classes, or core classes now, are broad professional fields. You could be a medical professional. Then the purview of the game for you is engaging with and improving your, the player's, ability within that role. Subclasses are specific professions either specific to the starting campaign setting or custom created by a player. These fall under one of the core classes, more or less.
