[QUOTE="pming, post: 6761548, member: 45197"] Hiya. I voted "Kinda". It honestly depends on the campaign world and style I'm running. In my "World of Generika", yeah, people know what one 'is' when they say "I'm a [class]". People don't really know what that [I]can[/I] actually entail, but they do know what a "1st or 2nd" level character of that class is. In other words, if someone says "I'm a Cleric of Thellsa, Goddess of Life and Beauty", they know that the person can cast spells, turn undead, wear armor correctly, fight with most common weapons, etc. They don't know the specifics; like what spells they 'also' get (bonus for Life Domain), nor do they know anything about limitations (how many spells, how often they can 'turn undead', etc). Once someone hits 3rd level and chooses an Archtype, [I]that[/I] is what they are known as. So, a Fighter who chooses Eldritch Knight would introduce himself as one. Most people won't really understand what that means other than the basic "core feeling" of the class-archtype. In other worlds, they know he is a Fighter who has studied magic as well and now uses a combination of steel and mana to fight evil (or whatever). I guess it's kind of someone saying "I'm a Doctor". We know they have a Doctorate degree in something. If they say "I'm a Neurosurgeon", we know they are a medical doctor who specializes in the brain. So, "I'm a Fighter" and "I'm an Eldritch Knight" are the equivalents as far as how much one would know or understand what that person does. ^_^ Paul L. Ming [/QUOTE]
