When I don't, I mean a general description of the character ("barbarian").Does this mean that a level 10 Fighter cannot accept money to kill a person? Because doing so would make them an assassin, and he doesn't have any levels in Assassin.Similarly, an Expert can take only ranks in Perform and Knowledge skills; does the in-game/rules based language synthesis mean that he cannot go town to town exchanging stories, singing songs as a bard?Brother, that ain't me.The class-based level system models the acquisition of skill sets, and it does so admirably.What players decide their characters do with a skill set is what produces their character's role. So that a Barbarian may be an army marshal; a Wizard may be an assassin; a Monk may be a high priest.The separation between Class and role is the same as ability and objective. It may help to have levels in Rogue to steal things, but you don't need them.</blockquote>
