[QUOTE="DarkCrisis, post: 8842510, member: 1788"] Take for example Drizzt of Faerun. 2E he was a Ranger. A good quick way to gain duel wielding and sneakiness. Did he ever cast a Ranger Spell? Via current D&D and current novels. He's probably more of a Fighter/Barbarian/Monk. 9/1/10. Any "Rangerness" is duplicated by simple background and skill choice. Also, seeing as how he never uses his Rage anymore one could also say he's just a 10/10 Fighter/Monk. AND if you wanted Classic Drizzt under 5E rules, he'd probably still just be a pure Fighter (Or Fighter/Barb) with Nature and Sneak skills etc. Raistlin of Krynn. In Krynn you have to have a "spark" to be able to cast magic. AD&D only had Wizards. So Raistlin is a Wizard. He studies spell books etc. Now while he (and other Wizards) have "The Spark", I don't think that's enough to say "Sorcerer". A Krynn Sorcerer may just have better access/use of "The Spark". Now of course comes in Fistandantilus. The spirt of a dead Wizard who empowers Raistlin for a time. So? Warlock? Wizard/Warlock? What Patron fits an undead wizard who plans to take over the body of his ward? Raistlin wasn't really granted magic by Fist, he was granted boosted power and knowledge. He still had to seek out spellbooks to learn new spells (or create his own new spells via research). Fist was more of an ever present mentor than a being granting spells to Raist. So eh, I could see some Warlock levels but Raist is still just a Wizard. He just has a spirit helping him figure things out. The Bob to his Dresden. Who else? How's Elminster fair? Wizard/Cleric/Sorcerer/Warlock? [/QUOTE]
