[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9579286, member: 18"] That's putting the cart before the horse though, isn't it? You could ask the same question of any fictional character, no matter how poorly suited to D&D, and people will just choose the closest one, even if it's absolutely a total trash-tier fit. You could have asked that in 2E, had Elsa existed, and people would have said Wizard instantly, because Psionicists didn't have elemental powers. There is not much D&D posters on the the internet love more than pigeonholing a fictional character into a class or and/or alignment that is a terrible fit for them lol. Also, ask the same thing with Eleven or the other three ladies from anime (all of whose names escape me, despite me being familiar with them and being able to name the anime they're in - Dandadan, Spy X Family and One-Punch Man respectively), and there'd be an absolute scuffle because a bunch of people will keep saying "Well Psion but WotC don't have Psion anymore!". You've brought Elsa into this mess, isn't her life already enough of a mess lol? Why she gotta be incorrectly pigeonholed by D&D nerds too? [/QUOTE]
