[QUOTE="Klaus, post: 5736788, member: 607"] The core martial classes, to me, have a collection of maneuvers and strikes, whereas the Essentials martial classes have a series of combat styles (the stances). "But what about encounter/daily powers? How to explain those?" These would be difficult maneuvers that require a very specific set of openings and opportunities to be executed. When you use one of those, you are retroactively deciding that the enemy gave you the perfect opening for that. Which is also a good way to explain "reliable" powers. You went for an opening that just wasn't right. Now, back to translations to Portuguese: I think that English terms and names should be translated, but those that English apporpriated from other languages should stay as-is. Even though "tiefling" had its origins in "Teufel" (and teufeling also means "from the depths"), it is its own word, meaning nothing in English except the D&D race. So I prefer to leave it as-in in Portuguese as well. Plus, that also helps expand the language's vocabulary. [/QUOTE]
