[QUOTE="Xeviat, post: 8185775, member: 57494"] This might be a direction I'll go, but part of me really likes having the classes be concrete things in the world. After reading peoples posts here, I'm thinking clerics won't be necessarily tied to a specific deity so much. Rather, they'll be tied to their domain. They're blessed by the gods, but whether or not they are a practicing priest of a deity is up to their background. That will allow for the class to serve both adventuring wanderers and local priests. Warlocks, though, with their connection to their patron, will have that specific tie. For me, if I don't focus on the tie between warlock and patron, the class feels less like it needs to exist and I'm very tempted to spin it together with the Sorcerer. Like someone suggested, I'll go with druids not quite being divine magic. Druid, Bard, and Wizard magic all comes from the same place, but how they get it is different. Druids partner with the spirits of the world and intuitively know how to call upon them. Bards instinctively influence them with their presence. Wizards learn the science of manipulating magical energy. Because of this, Druids may look upon Wizards with a bit of disdain, since Wizards are taking power, rather than asking for it. Sorcerers are kind of little godlings of their own. Their magic is their own, just like other magical creatures. [/QUOTE]
