Something had to take into account, for lack of a better term, life force. Classes can easily be called professions, which we do have in real life: Soldier, Nurse, Detective, and cubicle-dwelling customer support dude are all classes. And again with levelling, means to an end.Aside from that, I was addressing "fantasy weapon combat" specifically. What you and your group picture in your minds when you play can be vastly different in style than my group. Again, a lean, stripped down set of rules that has basic combat at its heart (attack, resolve hit or miss, resolve damage) lends itself to both styles when you can drop in a module that adds fantasy elements (use super wuxia leap to position your super martial monk of doom, swing or cast or use living spike chain attack of uber-doomnation, resolve hit or miss or super force energy attack of Crane Clan, resolve damage and status effect from suffering the wrath of the crane monk's chi).A system can plainly be both and yes, D&D should be that system as it has been in the past and has and can lend itself easily to all styles and plenty of genres.</blockquote>
