[QUOTE="Vyvyan Basterd, post: 5739979, member: 4892"] Those classes have other trade-offs compared to the average striker. No. I presented the idea originally way back in the thread as a Barbarian/Sorecer. My point was that people got stuck upon the name Barbarian and tried to pigeon-hole my concept, much like you are doing now. He was born in and grew up in a city. City-dweller? Check. His father is a minor noble. Noble-born? Check. With some effort I [I]could[/I] reskin a 3E fighter as a wizard. Picture a "90-pound weakling" that somehow hefts that sword and shield as if he were a massive brute. And when people mock the puny man in the tin can, he displays a battle cunning that no one expected. See, he focused his studies on the martial aspects of magic because he was sick and tired of being picked on. His "spells" allow him to pull off amazing feats that no ordinary man could. Think "Chuck" meets the middle ages. Instead of a technological Intersect, he employs a magical version. That's why I used the word stereotype. You have a predjudiced pigeon-holed view of what someone who lives in a city, born to a noble is. You based your side of the argument on assumptions. You know what happens when you assume. You are continuing to conflate concept with class. [/QUOTE]
