[QUOTE="Pinotage, post: 5591197, member: 15194"] All very interesting. If you distill the four archetypes down you get: Cleric - servant of a deity, wielder of divine magic Wizard - wielder of arcane magic Rogue - Jack of all trades, skill monkey Fighter - martial warrior With that in mind, Warrior probably is a good generic class for the martial weapon wielder, while Arcanist might be something for a mage or wizard (or the old Magic User for 1e). Rogue and Cleric appear harder - I'd agree that Cleric is probably as generic as they come, much the same as Priest - probably good enough for a servant of a deity. I really can't find another generic term that describes the concept of the 'rogue'. Adventurer is an option, but that really defines everybody else as well. Perhaps something like Expert isn't a bad idea and is fairly generic? Then again, that doesn't describe the inherent versatility of the class. Pinotage [/QUOTE]
