[QUOTE="SylverFlame, post: 1348733, member: 8423"] Well, since I mentioned this, I think you're likely responding to me. As such, here goes: I mentioned this fact as, on the whole, D&D under the written rules tends to lump types. Chaotic types, by the book, dislike organized methods. As such, the dislike of wizard training is justified. On that note, I should state that I do see what you're saying, and I should mention that it is more in tune with my idea of Chaotic behaviour. Still, we are looking at a game element that is largely archetypical/stereotypical in nature. It shows what the great heroes of the culture and age are. For instance, the great Greek and Roman heroes (those that were central in myths) tended to be strong, have some intelligence, and were willing to fight. Surprise, surprise, these were ideals upheld by the greeks and romans. As such, if elves encourage free thought and personal expression, I feel that this is more in tune with the stereotypical sorcerer rather than the stereotypical wizard. However, I feel I should reiterate that I see your point, and feel it is highly valid. And, as I said in my last post, favoured class is something that should be liberally houseruled by a given DM (even if that means eliminating it all together). [/QUOTE]
