[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 9354024, member: 92511"] Oh? Can a Paladin fit in everyone? Can a warlock? Can a druid? Seems like, if you require "uniqueness" to feel like there's an "identity" (and I wholeheartedly disagree/refuse to accept that premise), Fighter and Wizard "fitting in everyone" meets that criteria. Pretty sure a warlock or druid or sorcerer, for that matter, would disagree that using magic isn't a crucial part of (or even the base necessity for) their identity (whatever level/degree of identity that may be). I truly don't comprehend what that last sentence is supposed to mean. It's fine. You don't have to explain. I'm just saying, I'm not getting what you mean....other than you seem to think everything that is slightly different counts as "unique" - which equates as "identity"- and deserves its own class. So, irrelevant to this discussion of D&D classes, then? I recall liking Soul Calibur, too, bitd/once upon a time. So doing the damage, defending your companions, leading the charge (in many cases), giving as good as you get, taking more hits than others, and doing it all WITHOUT magical powers or invoked deities or loosing your mind with rage or mystical martial arts... Just your weapons of choice, your brawn (and possibly a bit of brain/tactics/"strategery"), your improving skill/experiences in battle....none of that "means something" as far as being a fighter? That's not "unique" because other classes in the game engage in combat also? I really don't have a response to this...that wouldn't get me in trouble, I think. So I'll just keep my thoughts here to myself. Hahaha. That's just using flowery language to explain the same things. Doesn't make anything "more unique" and generate "more identity" than any other class. But, fine, maybe this will help you understand where I'm coming from... "I drove myself on, as far as I could, to the brink of my own annihilation. None remained standing before me. Beneath my boots, a mire more blood than mud.
