[QUOTE="Son of the Serpent, post: 7825570, member: 7015476"] My answer is this: "Definitely. Sorta. No. Did you know vlad tepes officially held the rank of paladin? Also knight. Also prince. Also count. He did btw." Also a healthy dose "its complicated" is in my answer. Consider the following: a cleric could likely be in game known as or think of itself as or be called a cleric, priest, saint, bishop, monk, or cultist and cleric is not even the most likely word for him to be known by. Or by their other profession. Maybe a preacher, doctor, teacher, archivist or whatever. Maybe multiple. A favored soul: cleric, priest, saint, favored soul, the chosen one (watch out for sand and evil space wizards), bishop, cultist, warlock, sorceror, demigod, godling, half-mortal, cambion, miracle man, and so on. Or by their other profession. Maybe a poet, seer, theif, cult leader or whatever. Maybe multiple. Paladin: paladin, cleric, saint, knight, bishop, and so on. Or by their other profession. Maybe a veteran, war hero, soldier, protector, body guard, guard, priest or whatever. Maybe multiple. This list goes on and on for basically most classes i can think of. Its one of those things where its kinda ingame. But it is kinda not too. And it really is character, region, and language specific. And you even have this inter classially (that is not a word. I know). In many cases a wizard is a guy who was born already a powerful sorceror and gained wizard schooling simply because his family couldnt possibly see him not going to the mage school as not being a waste of his raw talent and as a result out if game they progress as a wizard but in game they already have the innherent arcane potency and natural talent of a sorceror which is why they were schooled as a wizard in the first place but they are known by their friends to legitimately be both (as they literally have sprcerous talent but they focused it into thebdiscipline of a wizard.). Look at vecna for example. Probably is a favored soul in the truest sense of the word. Is a god. Is a wizard. Has knowledge more fundemental than true naming. Is "sorcerous". And so on. Many things apply. Even if out of game on paper hes buolt strictly as a wizard with an undead template and divine ranks. In game hes so much more. [/QUOTE]
