[QUOTE="Omegaxicor, post: 5903571, member: 95351"] I see the requirements as what they are, with classes that are part of an organisation they are the minimum requirements that that organisation will accept from its initiates before training them (starting from Masterwork clay as it were) with classes that are drawn from training yourself (I can't really think of examples off the top of my head) they are the minimum requirements for you to be able to begin your training either way, people often confuse "levelling up" method with a spring of power gained in an instant after a fight, in reality (well you know what I mean), it is an acknowledgement that your training has paid off (I suppose your should be able to use an ability before you level up but with a 50% failure rate or something) and you have perfected the abilities of another level in whichever class you choose. Think of it like being a Cleric has the requirements of knowing your deities portfolio and history, contained in a book I suppose, but just because you have read that doesn't make you a Cleric you must still practice your abilities, such as spellcasting, to gain a level of Cleric I wondered about the reasons behind this, and other class mechanics, for awhile before I understood them [/QUOTE]
