But it reminds me how Gandalf, the quintessential Wizard, technically is less of a Wizard (in the D&D sense) and more of an Angel send down for the Heavens or whatever the Middle Earth lore equivalent is and as such  a being with powers by innate gifts, rather than some human that studied the arcane arts.Didn't the original D&D have some races as classes? I wonder if in an alternative timeline, D&D would have developed more into the direction of classes as races, and you'd be a Wizard because you're really an angelic being send down to Earth using its innate magical talents, and a Dwarf is simply how dwarves are, and the myriad of Elf subraces would be Elf classes, Elven sorceror, Elven Swordmagee, Half-Elf-Bard or whatever...</blockquote>
