[QUOTE="Mecheon, post: 9151312, member: 6801776"] I'll defo fight on some of those as there's gaps they fill. Fighter will never be able to fill the sheer mass of wuxia that the monk has, and a pal of mine, every time I brought up folks saying the cleric should be merged into the druid, has laughed and called everyone who thought so crazy. Those two at least have so much more sheer mass in the wider fantasy and RPG space that folks will just completely re-invent them as split classes, because the existing classes will fail to live up to what they can do or they'll be weighed down with unfitting parts. The wider fantasy RPG take on a druid is incredibly far from D&D's cleric. If anything, I'd be looking at ditching the Cleric entirely and moving it as more of something like the White Mage or Warcraft's Priest as I'd say those are the wider accepted 'this is the healer/anti undead' one out there And, well, as my friend says, the Cleric moreso gives the vibes of the Druid's enemy rather than its base Ditching the fighter and keeping Barbarian around and basically doing similar to the split of Wizard/Warlock/Sorcerer may be better though, so something like Barbarian/Knight/Lancer for your big heavy hitter with little armor, your heavy armored juggernaught, and your longer ranged one who moves in and out [/QUOTE]
