[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 6778905, member: 6801228"] You know, I was going to tackle this... but what's the point? I could ask if you use the Holy Avenger or the Staff of the Magi in your game, as those require specific classes to attune to them, and I don't believe it is logical to conclude that a person could build and craft an item to reflect something that doesn't exist. But of course you are going to tell me how you've home-brewed this or make some claim about some twisting that makes it absolutely impossible to tell. I could also tell you that denying the law of averages because a wheel rolled the same type of number 17 times in a row seems to indicate you don't have a good grasp of what that means. Check the last 10,000 numbers and I'm sure it is more even than that. Check 10,000,000 and it will be even more even. That is, if it was designed to be fair and not designed to favor one side more than another. What's the point? At this crossroads it is just abundantly clear that you are bound and determined to bend over backwards to avoid any sort of title to your character beyond the backstory you thought up, and that you if hearing the term ranger or paladin used to describe a player at the table, and not having an in-game specific group that follows those names, will likely rage about it or at least be insulted by it, despite the fact that the base assumption of the game is that these are things that people can know and recognize in the world. So... since you are so determined to avoid it... avoid it, I really can't see the point anymore. Edit: this may be coming across more angry than I intend. I am very tired at the moment, and my phrasing may be slightly off. I just don't see the point in arguing something when it has become abundantly clear we cannot agree to a baseline and you seem determined to deny any sort of baseline agreement we could come to. Heh.... "Nothing is True. Everything is Permitted" So said the time wizard pretending to be an assassin or a barbarian, depending on whether or not he took the favored soul part after being revealed he had the DNA of gods coursing through his veins. Of course, he was really a bard with magic items that no one could actually see. [/QUOTE]
