[QUOTE="Kemrain, post: 1290646, member: 12153"] First off, I play in an odd game in that everyone, PC or not, can have PC Class levels. However, the Paladins of Alerum, Lord of Justice, might very well not have a single level of Paladin; they might be all Fighter. Some people have the blessing of the Gods, some don't. That isn't the deciding factor for membership in a clergy, it's simply a bonus. Nearly everyone is multiclassed to one degree or another. I'm playing a Rogue 4, Fighter 1, Ranger 1, Mage 1, and I'm a little atypical, but there are soldiers that are Fighter 3, Ranger 1, Rogue 1, And plenty of Paladin types with only a level or two in the 'real' class. If you call yourself a Paladin, IMC, you are, unless the clergy you claim to belong to renounces you. My character, for years and years, though posessing only Rogue levels, was a recognised and respected member of the Temple of Alerum. (Funny story, that..) So, what it comes down to is that, in my game, your class is completely seperate from your character in the story, and people will refer to you as you show yourself to be. Carry weapons and wear armor, and you'll be called a Warrior... Kill twenty men, and you'll be called a Murderer. Carry a holy symbol, and you could be recognised as a devout man. It might, however, simply be a way to get people to lower their guard around you. Lie, cheat, and steal, and you'll only be called a Rogue behind your back, because to your face, they'll call the guard. The meta-rules part of the game is completely seperate from the characters in this game, and thats what makes it so real to me... We had a Druid for a while, and the only thing that came close to a class title that she was called was "Witch!" - Kemrain the Multiclasser. [/QUOTE]
