[QUOTE="Zhaleskra, post: 6346566, member: 20544"] Given that ENWorld is so D&D/Pathfinder-centric that if you don't specify what system you're talking about it, it will assumed to be one of those, I think it's fair to assume that others would assume a D&D slant. Even media that has the research still uses D&D as the fallback because "that's what everybody knows about". Unless one knows better, one assumes a class/level system, especially if it is rigid, to be D&D. Having said that, I don't want my character to be optimal. It's fun for a while, but to me gets boring quickly. At the same time, I don't want her to be inefficient either. Using my Zhalèskra World Tree character: zie's not the best fighter nor best mage, but zie's actually somewhat better at magic than at fighting. That said, with all a Zi Ri's built in negative modifiers to physical combat, I'm still surprised with what my choices revealed. Come to think of it, there's a little bit of ranger and rogue in zir as well, mostly accomplished through magic. [/QUOTE]
