True, you can act any way you want, but who wants to waste potential usefulness?And what about multiclassing? What is the role of my fighter/cleric/rogue in combat? I'd much rather be able to bring those class levels together around being a striker, instead of being a bit of defender, a bit of leader, and a bit of striker. Multiclassing already spreads our abilities around, a One Character = One Role mechanic provides a good opportunity to distinguish a character outside of it's class levels.In any case, I'm not worried about it. If the 4e doesn't work that way, I'll just make some house rules to that effect. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
