However, I started this thread to look at the heroic archetypes from fiction to see how they might've informed the D&D classes from a narrative starting point and where they have built a class on top of a typical heroic archetype. Therefore, strip away the bag of bones waiving, ancestor conversing poncho from what we see in a d&d Shaman, and is there something underneath that would fit as a heroic archetype.In this instance, I'd say yes. Strip away the D&D Class dressing of a shaman, and someone with multiple personalities (like Echo from Dollhouse), or even (at a stretch) a character like Captain Picard, would fit in the same archetype.</blockquote>
