[QUOTE="Achan hiArusa, post: 4597716, member: 2597"] page 26 PHB 2nd Ed 1st Printing: ...There are many famous fighters from legend: Hercules, Perseus, Hiawatha, Beowulf, Siegfried, Chuchulain, Little John, Tristand, and Sinbad. History is crowed with great generals and warriors: El Cid, Hannibal, Alexander the Great, Charlemange, Richard the Lionhearted, and Belisarius... page 33 (same source): The cleric is similar to certain religious orders of knighthood of the Middle Ages: the Teutonic Knights, the Knights Templar, and Hospitalers. These orders combined military and religious training with a code of protection and service. Members were trained as knights and devoted themselves to the service of the church. The orders were frequently found on the outer edges of the Christian world, either on the fringe of the wilderness or in war-torn lands. Archbishop Turpin (of [i]The Song of Roland[/i]) is an example of such a cleric. Similar orders can also be found in other lands, such as the sohei of Japan. Yeah, that's dumbed down langauge, I'll leave those paragraphs to speak for themselves. As for Cartoonish art, we have full page splashes of beautifully rendered art from Elmore on page 7 of the Dragon Hunters or Easley on page 43 of the Sleeping Paladin in the PHB as opposed to Sutherland's Fighter slipping on a Banana on page 11 of the 1st Edition PHB, 6th printing, or the mentally impaired mage on page 10 (same source).
