[QUOTE="Azazyll, post: 1635787, member: 4367"] Adventurer is just as anonymous as expert. All of the classes are experts at something (despite the bard's catchphrase of "jack of all trades"). When most people think of adventures in the modern sense, it's more along the lines of the rogue or the bard. Think of Bilbo Baggins, the Burglar, Indiana Jones (who certainly has levels of rogue or bard), or even the annoying main voice in Lady Hawke played by farris beuler. All of these are classic Adventurers, all are connected with the kind of skills this book is trying to describe. Look at teh awful D&D movie (or don't, and take my word for it) the main character is a rogue. The "Dungeon Delver" prestige class in Song and Silence (I think that was the name, I could hardly bare to read that awful book) is another example of how the rogue typifies Adventurer in a way that the other classes don't. Sure, a priest, a fighter, a wizard, they all go on adventures. But there's a certain charm and (using the word and not the class) roguishness that goes with the word adventurer, a slightly derogatory tone that comes with it, that the rogue and bard have in a way the other classes do not. I, for one, approve of it much more than complete expert. [/QUOTE]
