[QUOTE="Cadfan, post: 4658077, member: 40961"] What's he's saying is this: Lets say you want to be a Leader in combat, and a knowledgeable type out of combat. You can do that. Or if you want to be a Defender in combat, and a diplomat out of combat, you can do that. At most you're going to have to blow a feat or three to make it work. You're seeing it as, if you choose to play a Fighter, sure, you can be a diplomat out of combat. But you can't be a Striker in combat, because being a Fighter made you be a Defender. And he's seeing it as, if you want to be a Striker/Diplomat, you can play a Rogue. I have to say, I'm with him. If your vision is a melee character who, I dunno, charges around the battlefield dishing out pain, but who is also a skilled diplomat, pick a melee class that charges around the battlefield dishing out pain, and then customize to be a diplomat. Don't pick a different class then complain that it doesn't do what you want. The class name isn't important. If you want the combat mechanics from class X, and an out of combat role of Y, just take it. [/QUOTE]
