[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 8459062, member: 6801845"] Since we don't have an official classification guide for D&D, what makes classes feel different is going to be subjective. I don't think of clerics and wizards as being the same. One gets access to all spells they're ever going to have the other has to find or learn specific spells. Sorcerers are even more limited and different. Rogues have sneak attack, fighters have multiple attacks and the option of heavy armor, barbarians have rages. Those all feel unique and distinct to me. It's also been largely true for all editions except 4E. I don't really care how other people do categories. On the other hand in 4E everyone had at will, encounter and daily powers. Same decision points, same structure, same resource management. So I'm baffled why people have such an issues with other's opinions and judgements. I see a pattern, you don't. It's not "logical knots", just a different perspective. One you don't have to agree with. This is a thread about what traditions are important to you; classes feeling different, having different decision points, have a different feel to me. [/QUOTE]
