Class implies a certain level of training and expertise that puts them above the "NPC common man". Look how often that pops up in the PHB:"Not every member of the tribes deemed "barbarians" by scions of civilized society has the barbarian class. A true barbarian among these people is as uncommon as a skilled fighter in a town. and he or she plays a similar role as a protector of the people and a leader in times of war.""Not every minstrel singing in a tavern ar jester cavorting in a royal court is a bardo Discovering the magic hidden in music requires hard study and some measure of natural talent that most troubadours and jongleurs lack.""Not every acolyte or officiant at a temple or shrine is a cleric. Some priests are called to a simple life of temple service, carrying out their gods' will through prayer and sacrifice, not by magic and strength of arms.""Not every member of the city watch, the village militia, or the queen's army is a fighter. Most of these troops are relatively untrained soldiers wilh only lhe mosl basic combat knowledge. Veleran soldiers, military officers, trained bodyguards, dedicated knights, and similar figures are fighters.""Fighters are rare enough among the ranks of the militias and armies of the world, but even fewer people can claim the true calling of a paladin. When they do receive the call, these warriors turn from their former occupations and take up arms to fight evil.""Though a ranger might make a living as a hunter, a guide, or a tracker, a ranger's true calling is to defend the outskirts of civilization from the ravages of monsters and humanoid hordes lhat press in from the wild."Oh, and they do occasionally reference groupings.... "In some places, rangers gather in secretive orders or join forces with druidic circles.""Every town and city has its share of rogues. Most of them live up to the worst stereotypes of the class, making a living as burglars, assassins, cutpurses, and con artists. Often, these scoundrels are organized into thieves' guilds or crime families.""The way of a bard is gregarious. Bards seek each other out to swap songs and stories, boast of their accomplishments, and share their knowledge. Bards form loose associations, which they call colleges, to facilitate their gatherings and preserve their traditions.""Though their organization is invisible to most outsiders, druids are part of a society that spans the land, ignoring political borders, All druids are nominally members of this druidic society, though some individuais are so isolated lhat lhey have never seen any high-ranking members of the society or participated in druidic gatherings. Druids recognize each other as brothers and sisters, Like creatures of the wilderness, however, druids sometimes compete with or even prey on each other.""The final oath, taken when he ar she reaches 3rd level, is the culmination of ali the paladin's training. Some characters with this class don't consider themselves true paladins until they have reached 3rd level and made this oath.""In some places, these traditions are literally schools; a wizard might study at the School of lllusion while another studies across town at the School of Enchantment. In other institutions, the schools are more like academic departments, with rival faculties competing for students and funding."</blockquote>
