[QUOTE="transtemporal, post: 6623662, member: 6777693"] This is kind of a weird discussion. I'm sure [I]in the game world,[/I] wizards would furiously debate amongst themselves whether an Artificer was a true wizard and whether to let them in the wizards club etc etc. The same debates emerge in the real world when a new variation of a profession appears. For our purposes though, who cares? When you get down to it, a class is a bundle of abilities with a theme and later, a focus on manipulating one of those abilities (sub-class). The Fighter (for example) has a theme of hitting things in personal combat and the Champion has a focus on critical hit mechanics. The more levels you have in fighter, the more "hitty" you become until you achieve "peak hitty" at 20 fighter levels. If you think of it even more mechanically, you might say that fighter is about sustained single-target DPR and champion is about focussing on burst DPR. [/QUOTE]
