[QUOTE="hong, post: 1789635, member: 537"] You can think anything you want, as long as I don't have to keep using small words. I mistakenly thought I didn't need to use small words. I shall not make that mistake again. Which is not only debatable (the biggest distinguishing factor apparently is that the DM gets to screw them over more freely -- how heroic), but a stupid way of doing things. It's like designing a class to be either a better or worse adventurer than other adventurers, depending on whether or not your campaign is meant to revolve around this ideal. The heroic ideal is not something that translates well into specific abilities, unless you do a lot more work to pin down exactly what you mean by it. Schtick is in _how_ you smash orc skulls. Druid smash orc skulls with funky druid powers. Cleric smash orc skulls with funky cleric powers. Wizard smash orc skulls with funky wizard powers, yadda. Being "hero" just say that you you smash orc skulls. Being "hero" not a schtick. [/QUOTE]
