[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 8111315, member: 63508"] I didn't reallywant to debate Zardnaar.I just wanted to mention how one of the big criticism ofmany editions of D&D is that some don't want the game's flavor explained. A lot of people are in the "leave it blank and I'll write it" camp and dislike the "Create a default and I'll rewrite it" idea. The "Grid filling" in the what was put in the grids is false. The created classes were interesting,added new flavors to narratives, and created new ways to play. But no. Some classes are mixed source. The Ranger is a warrior who casts magic buffs on themselves and uses divination because it is a stealthy tracker and stalker who fights solo or in skrimish. That's Martial plus Divine, Arcane, or Primal depending on how you flavor them. Rangers are warriors who learn a little magic to overcome the dangers of their job and the fantastic elements of their quarries. Paladins are Martial +Divine. Barbarians are Martial but can be Primal if you wish to make them supernatural and not pure bearshirts/wolfcoats/boarheads. Mechanics matter. The Nature Cleric charms animals and plants because it is a man commanding nature. The Druid becomes a animal or plant because they are one with nature.. Classes should get the features that match what fits the flavor and not what justifies their existence. [/QUOTE]
