[QUOTE="Laurefindel, post: 7955387, member: 67296"] Nah, the D&D analogy was used as a common reference. The system used has no class as D&D defines them, no levels, and no magic. Also, characters in D&D cannot change class halfway through combat like they could change positions on a ship. I meant to use the old-school D&D party analogy to express that...
