[QUOTE="TheCosmicKid, post: 7825438, member: 6683613"] Between martial characters, hell no. "FIghter" and "barbarian" and "rogue" are artificial categories we as players make to simplify our job creating characters and to silo features in a plausible way so everybody doesn't just have all the best abilities. Between spellcasters, somewhat. The distinction between clerics, wizards, sorcerers, and warlocks pretty obviously exists in universe. The boundary between druid and cleric is probably kind of blurry, ditto sorcerer and bard (or perhaps wizard and bard, it's kind of up in the air what a bard is actually doing). And the half-caster classes and third-caster subclasses are probably thought of as dabblers in one or the other of the primary magical arts rather than something discrete. In-universe [I]awareness[/I] of these distinctions, as others have noted already, may vary. It probably doesn't matter all that much to an angry mob of peasants whether the mage who allegedly blighted their crops was a wizard or a sorcerer or even a druid. [/QUOTE]
