[QUOTE="GX.Sigma, post: 6103233, member: 6690511"] The idea that including a class doesn't just mean "players can choose this class," but "this world is a world where this class exists." e.g., in the world of Greyhawk, there is a class of priests called the Druids. It's not just a character option--it's an entire class of people in the setting. If you're a druid, and you meet an NPC druid, you're both members of the same class. Anything he can do, you can do, and vice-versa. Of course, you can get around this in any number of ways. The idea of rarities was thrown around a while ago: The Warlock is a rare class, meaning they're exceptional and unique. If you're running a game that's set in a non-standard setting, you might decide that Druids are a rare class; a PC can choose to play a Druid, but he'll be exceptional and unique. My problem with Warlords is essentially that I don't want them to be a "common" class that NPCs can be expected to have. I'm not really stressed about it, because even if the game includes a Warlord class that I hate, I can redefine it to be a "rare" class in my world. [/QUOTE]
