[QUOTE="Jefe Bergenstein, post: 3371322, member: 31506"] Or your character not being a moron. Say youve been working at a job for a while. Its been going along ok, but you can tell that you'er going to remain relatively stagnant. You see a job opening for a new job that sounds similar to what you'ved been doing, but with more opportunities for promotion, better pay, more vacation, etc. Why wouldnt you jump ship? Company loyalty? I wasnt aware that sorcerer was a corporation. Even the dumbest sorcerers is bound to notice that the other sorcerers are heading on over to pick up Incanatrix for Dummies (or whatever good sorcerer PRC is out there), and able to do everything they can do, PLUS tons of other stuff. What kind of idiot would stay in the slow lane? Characters are aware of the abilities they are training for. They might not call them feats skills or classes, but when the player picks weapon focus, the character DOES understand that he is training to use a specific weapon better. They understand that the Order of the Bow teaches you how to shoot a bow point blank with some guy punching you in the face, or that if you want to shoot laser beams out of your eyes at will, singing on with team Warlock is the way to go. Characters dont just stumble ass backwards through their training. Classes (usually) arent lifestyles, just training packages. Picking a better prc, feat, or whatever isnt just a meta construct. Unless the character is just a lazy, unambitious slob, most likely he's trying to get the most out of his training, particularly since he's routinely in a position to be eaten, fireballed, or squashed by falling rocks.
