[QUOTE="The Crimson Binome, post: 6608022, member: 6775031"] Classes are for adventurers. All PCs are adventurers, but NPC adventurers are uncommon. Adventurers are only a small part of the world, but how they work is incredibly relevant to the topic that the game covers, which is why the rules of the game are written from that perspective. It is, more or less, a coincidence that a PC adventurer happens to improve in fighting at the same time as practicing innate magical ability and learning more about History (or whatever). It's just, since adventurers do all of that stuff at the same time, it's convenient for the level mechanics to reflect that. Once you stop talking about adventurers, that simplifying assumption no longer holds, which is why you might get skilled artisans who can't fight and don't have many HP, or a powerful tiefling noble who can do the Darkness thing in spite of being the combat equivalent of level 2.
