[QUOTE="Wik, post: 5073306, member: 40177"] We tend to look at classes as "Ability packages" and let the NPCs and PCs declare "titles". For example, in the group I GM... The Minotaur Two-Weapon Fighter is generally just referred to as "The Minotaur"... occasionally he gets described as a former gladiator or pit fighter. his old Eladrin fighting companion (now an NPC) is currently the "Captain of the Guard", though he was generally seen as "the Leader" when he adventured (he was a Warlord). The Drow Artful Dodger Rogue is usually referred to as a drow, though occasionally she is a huntress. Meanwhile, the Halfling Brutal Scoundrel Rogue (who shares some of the same powers!) is generally seen as a sneaky sailor, or a swordswoman. The Shadar-Kai Bard (in my campaign, Shadar-Kai are half-breeds of Drow and Eladrin, since Drow and Eladrin are the same race - a Drow can change into an Eladrin, and Vice Versa, depending on political views... and Shadar-Kai are those caught in between) is usually seen as a mobile fighter with some vocal magic... who is also an alchemist. He was never referred to as a "bard"... he's seen more as a "rogue" than the two rogues are! The only character that is seen as a "Paladin" is the dragonborn Paladin, although a lot of NPCs refer to him as "knight", when they refer to him at all (generally, people notice he's a dragonborn first, and a paladin second).
