[QUOTE="Cap'n Kobold, post: 8273343, member: 6802951"] In the same way that any other class can? But instead of being one of your options, its your only option? If you play video game style and questgivers are able to identify character class by sight, I can see how that might work. Otherwise how is the person a character is talking to who acts the same, dresses the same, and says the same things going to react differently? A wizard can have the same number of skills, tools, and the same background as the fighter. They don't run out of knowledge any more than the martials run out of muscle. They can interact with their environment in the same way mundanely. However they can also interact with the environment in a much more powerful fashion. They can describe their spells in interesting ways. Once again: The core of the issue is not just "spells are more powerful than skills". It is that spells and skills are much better than just skills. Given that that was the point that ehren37 was making, I'm not sure quite where these statements come from. They were specifically pointing this out. [/QUOTE]
