[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 6767412, member: 16814"] Sure, but then you're missing the ability to wield a katana in both hands, which is, by far, the most common way one is used. Yeah, other bladed weapons vs laser sword that cuts through anything and a gas powered rotary axe. I really don't see how those things are remotely close, but I'll accept that you think swapping a longsword for a katana is the same as longsword for chainsaw. I don't have any issues, personally, as I wouldn't even consider a fluff rewrite from longsword to laser sword or chainsaw. I think I've been very clear that I don't equate profession with class, so... what? Was this meant to be a telling point against or something? Sure, and I think I'm within those rules. Class defines what you can do, not what you call yourself, or how you learned how to do those things, or to what ends you use those abilities. So, yeah, class is your calling, as it defines your abilities, but I don't see the need for everyone having the same class to have the exact same calling. Nor is such a thing a recognizable fiction in my games. It provides skills and a unique ability that is useful to your career. It's not a 'that's what you did and it has no bearing anymore.' Also, solider is a profession, noble is definitely a vocation, acolyte is as well. I've only gotten upset with the arguments that I should play a different game if I don't have classes with a pre-defined fiction in my game. If you can get people to stop doing that, I'll be just fine, thanks! And I certainly haven't yet told you that you can't use fluff however you want. I'm happy for you to use it however you want. I've stuck to saying how I use it, and getting a mite tired of being told I should play a different game for doing so. If you'd like to be free to associate fluff with crunch (to abuse terms), great! I support that! I think it's swell. I do it differently, and would appreciate the same attitude towards my choices as I have towards yours. [/QUOTE]
