[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 9171353, member: 996"] I may be imagining a pattern... The top two are classes that get their abilities from a higher power, a deity or patron. The next two are social capable, the Rogue notoriously urban, the Bard notoriously charismatic and an entertainer. The Druid & Paladin are, again, getting power from something greater than themselves - Nature and, again, a deity. The lower half could be viewed as gaining power on an individual level, the Artificer is the classic mad scientist or inventor, the Sorcerer has inborn power, the Wizard studies to gain personal power, the Ranger (tho it does presumably also derive power from Nature like a Druid) could be seen as operating alone a great deal, the Barbarian is the stereotypical uncivilized embodiment of rage and violence, even the Monk while it could be from an organized monastery could also be a reclusive cultivator setting itself apart from worldly concerns and seeking a personal path to enlightenment. :unsure: [/QUOTE]
