[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 6037209, member: 87792"] No you aren't. You are attacking the whole idea of a [I]universal[/I] class level rank system. You are attacking the idea that classes and levels should be universally applicable to all people within a given world rather than make a reasonable approximation [I]for professional adventurers[/I]. A professional baker advances completely differently so this approximation is not relevant. I'd appreciate some evidence for this - the experience of 4e says that this doesn't happen. The Cleric is a front line plate-wearing fighter in D&D. And even an adventuring wizard probably seems more weapons combat than the average professional soldier (even if the wizard's main goal is to just fend them off long enough for the fighter to get there). I'm happy saying that across the ten or so fights to the death against multiple opponents even a wizard learns a little about weapons. [/QUOTE]
