[QUOTE="Frostmarrow, post: 4527295, member: 1122"] I've been thinking about social class as the second role of a character. Let's say, for arguments sake, that their are four social classes: Nobility Clergy Merchants Serfs With this division it's quite easy to see what you should be good at. I mean, if you are a noble court intrigue is probably right up your ally. In the clergy knowledge is something to strive for. Merchants haggle and barter and the serfs do the rest. Immediately you see why there is a difference between a [I]noble [/I]fighter and a [I]merchant [/I]fighter. It paints a clear mental image. Imagine a clergy cleric compared to a serf cleric. Or compare duelist with gladiator (social class built in). Look at these situations: Negotiate with the duke. The noble will do the talking and the clergyman will do the thinking. -You two, shut up. Pass portal. The serf will do the actual picking. The merchant will provide the tools and the rest will, kind of, look the other way. Party with the plebs. The serf will do the heavy drinking, the noble will do the boasting, and the merchant will make the promises. Clergyman will return later from the wine cellar. [/QUOTE]
