[QUOTE="Ankh-Morpork Guard, post: 2290340, member: 10079"] Why not a Bard? They have thieving skills. Rogue doesn't have ANYTHING that allows it exclusive access to being a thief. Or even a Fighter! Why can't a thief be a bully? That's still a thief, and not a Rogue. What if my character is a clerical monk devoted to a deity? Then he's a Cleric, but he CALLS himself a Monk. THAT is the point. Who cares what it says on your character sheet. Yes, those give you skills and a broad path to follow(less broad for Paladins...but that's not the point right now), but do your PCs really walk into town and say "I'm a Fighter, he's a Rogue, and this guy's a Wizard! We're here to kill the evil Blackguard!" ? ...wouldn't saying "I am a Sorcerer of the Ancient Order, and this is my bodyguard. The one standing behind you with a knife at your throat is my good friend. Now, would you like to tell me where the Demon lover is?" be able to decsribe the exact same characters? [/QUOTE]
