[QUOTE="Salthorae, post: 7825586, member: 1095"] For my games it depends on the class and your closeness to them. Much more so for the arcane classes for those who are affiliated. Wizards/Sorcerers/Warlocks mostly have inklings of the others and the distinctions between them. Clerics/Druids get mixed up for Nature oriented priests, especially since Clerics are in Druid orders and Druids are in the priesthoods of those gods. Barbarians are a social construct more so than a class, though there are people who fight with rage and passion, it's just another way of doing it and sometimes its powered by shamanistic totems or something. Minstrels are more known while Bards are more legendary, through their own efforts :) There are definitely Rogues, but rogue/roguish means what it does in our world, so you have rogues of all stripes (fighters, rogues, bards, whoever is a thief or roguish). Rangers are Rangers, Scout Rogues, Druids, Fighters with outlanders, etc. Monks are pretty rare and would be seen as something odd. Paladins could certainly claim being from an order of monks.
