[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 6670218, member: 92511"] They are related and made sense because they were all traits that could be explained/attached to the Aragorn character. So, saying repeatedly they were all unattached doesn't make it so. They were related, just not in a way, apparently, you were able to recognize/draw the parallels. As for my use of it being "explicit", it has been told many times how someone from EGG's original gaming group basically said "I want to play someone like Aragorn" and the resulting creation was the ranger class. So, even though the PHB didn't say it, yes, the ranger was explicitly modeled after the character of Aragorn...taken and attempted to put into the D&D terms of the day/time. I will grant you trying to take characters from non-D&D sources and put them into D&D game mechanics/terms is often a fool's errand (or results in utterly awful and/or broken creations). [/QUOTE]
