Proficiencies don't make the class. Do they?

[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 6606592, member: 63508"] [MENTION=31506]ehren37[/MENTION] the ranger is a class because a fighter/druid doesnt have a exploration and a combat boost and a ranger doesn't wild shape. A 5e fighter/druid sucks at ranger stuff. The fighter/druid could have replaced the ranger but it wasn't built that way. And it would have weakened the fighter and druid just to do it. A class must be built. And built to matter and be different. --- To others It is all about mechanics. I could build a dancer class use starts a Dance of Battle and gain Momentum points each turn and when it hits. It could spend Momentum points to deal bonus damage or defend against attacks. 5e doesn't have a "build up your power" class. There is a history of blade dancers, acrobatic duelist, and mage dancers. Case for the class made. I could ribive the truenamer. Let it do spells art will but have to make abilty checks first. There's no ability check for attacks class. The fluff is 3e. Class case made. 20 levels of unique Fluff and Mechanics is all you need [/QUOTE]
