[QUOTE="Sundragon2012, post: 2614203, member: 7624"] I have to say that I find the random willy-nilly picking up of classes anethema to the integrity of the characters as "real" individuals in the setting and instead seems more in keeping with a CRPG than an internally consistant world with a certain level of believability. Fortunately, my players haven't even thought along these lines in many years. Perhaps in high-school this was something they would have requested, but now they expect me to require something of them in-game to make sense of things and they themselves want their characters to be believable and would require it of themselves even if I didn't. The above point is only in regards to classes that would require training such as a monk, cavalier, rogue, cleric, wizard, etc. and not classes that represent a natural transformation such as someone becoming a sorcerer. In game a character doesn't choose to become a sorcerer but discovers his nature as one who naturally wields magic. Chris [/QUOTE]
