[QUOTE="CreamCloud0, post: 9354043, member: 7034710"] i gave my opinion of the fighter identity earlier so i'll just repost that: their 'lack' of identity more comes from the fact that they are not allowed to truly excell is what is meant to be their area of specialty in comparison to the other classes as well as everyone else being made mostly competent in combat due to it basically being the core pillar of gameplay, even if others may lean more to magic than martial ability to do that everyone possesses a decent capability to hold up in battle that undercuts the fighter's capacity at it, but the fighter should have way more customisability in how they specifically fight and should be far more superior at doing it. wizards on the other hand IMO is or should be 'the researcher' but are realistically not, wizards have a strong pop culture identity but DnD's wizard's identity doesn't quite line up with that and i think that causes people to think the DnD wizard has a stronger identity than it actually does, i honestly think they could just be a subclass of the bard(collecting knowledge through their stories and travels) or the sorcerer(mastering their innate font of magic through study), they should provide answers, be that in the form of obscure knowledge or precise magical effects(not crude blasting) but i think maybe DnD has drifted too far from what it originally was for the wizard to perform the role of 'lorekeeper', they don't need to research and study barely, they don't need to provide high INT information checks, [/QUOTE]
