[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 6515979, member: 63508"] In the past, classes would get a title depending on their levels. One of these titles was the name level were a character could be truly be considered member of their class, has the iconic features for their class, and would be high enough level to be a major player in the world stage as a guild leader, stronghold master, or have access to major spells. I mean, can you even call yourself a wizard seriously if you don't have the slots to shoot fireballs. Not a fighter until you at least got a second attack. And sorry runner, you aren't a ranger 'less you rangered long enough to get spells. Then there was the class title were you got one of those big titles. Some dude announces himself as Grandmaster of Flowers and you don't interrupt his audience with the king. The older editions had nice charts. 3rd soft capped their prestige classes at 6 and so you didn't get 5levels in them until level 11 (just about where the sweet spot ended). 4th let you take a paragon path at 11 and epic destinies at 21. So when do you feel the name level of the classes are in 5th edition? What level do you see as the master class? And what is if called? For the most part, I wouldn't consider anyone to have their class' name until level 5. 5th level is where every class gets access to their first pump in power: extra attack or 3rd level spell. But when could a druid call himself an archdruid and not be a faker? What do you call a master warlock? An archmage or would that offend wizards and stoke the wizard/sorcerer/warlock wars? [/QUOTE]
