[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 7642291, member: 16814"] I think that the DM has wide lattitude to allow reflavoring of anything in the books, so this statement is a bit off. If you mean the player doesn't have lattitude to reflavor their character build choices, perhaps, but I'd find a DM that doesn't allow that without good reason to be acting poorly. However, we've already gone around on this particular topic, and I see no real value in a rehash -- we're not going to agree. And, that said, to address expertise -- there is no narrative associated with the expertise rule. There's nothing in the rogue general description or the Expertise class feature that says anything about advanced study or training. Expertise is entirely devoid of fictional anchoring. So, "reflavoring" doesn't really come into it; it has no flavor to begin with. It's a blank slate for flavoring to taste. [/QUOTE]
