This is because 10.66 of the classes have spells or supernatural abilities that are tied to a class. Someone could lie, a Cleric could say they're a Wizard, but "Cleric" has meaning in the world. Some of the basic class names may not be universally used: Fighter, Rogue, and Cleric especially. Paladin is a thing. Rangers are a thing. Bards are a thing. Monks are a thing. Barbarians are a thing, separate from barbarian tribes (I like "berserker" better myself, always have, for this very reason). Warlocks are different from Sorcerers, who are different from Wizards; these three can get confused for each other by the common folk, but there is a difference. A nature cleric and a druid could be misunderstood for each other, but they are distinctly separate things.A Fighter is a warrior who uses raw combat skill, while a Rogue is a character (not necessarily a warrior) who uses opportunity (however created) to fight. That fighting style, the difference between sneak attack and not, could distinguish a Fighter from a Rogue from a Fighter/Rogue to those with a keen eye (like a Mastermind Rogue or a Battlemaster Fighter). Maybe someone proficient with martial weapons, akin to a tool proficiency, could tell whether someone was proficient with the weapon they are wielding (Int+Proficiency check?), which could distinguish a fighter from a rogue.So, the word "class" isn't used the same. Not everyone will answer "What are you" with "I'm a fighter", but some may answer "I'm a Ranger" or "I'm a Paladin". Those names could differ in different areas, but they are traditions and archetypes present within the world.</blockquote>
