Both these seem to be approaching Ranger & Paladin classes respectively, and also there is a bit of strangeness with the Guide and Knight backgrounds.Let's take the Knight for example. Now I can see that the word actually has a few usages, a title, a role in the community, a warrior description, and a warrior code. Alright so what's going on here. The background is just that, where you come from & what you do outside of quests. A fighter-knight compares to a paladin in that the paladin is by default knightly with spiritual oaths & powers, whereas said fighter-knight would be an exceptional representative of the more commonly encountered warriors serving a liege or wandering knight-errant.It would be possible for a fighter-knight to have say a commoner background if they were say one whose valor plucked them from obscurity after some battle they luckily survived.Yeah ok, I can now quite easily see fighter-knights as part of the world. However I think the "Knight" background may need a renaming just to remove the 'night-fighting fighter-knight knight fight' silliness I just though up. Oh dear Cavalier has been taken.Scout? Ok, got to crash, I'll leave that to you to ponder.</blockquote>
