[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 9334833, member: 23751"] Not really. Class and subclass are like human. You can walk into a room with 20 humans(same class and subclass) and it's not the class and subclass that make the difference. It's all the little details that tell you that you are looking at Bob and not George. The little details. What feats you take in combination with what skills you take in combination with what spells you take in combination with... are what differentiate your evoker wizard from my evoker wizard. Otherwise they are the same and unless your concept is some overly broad human evoker wizard and nothing more, you haven't achieved your concept by picking those things. It's not enough to have human evoker wizard as your concept. Darmilok the Ice lord of the Great Glacier, who hurls spells that freeze the blood of the enemy and shatters their resolve. Darmilok was born under the blue star, and is blessed by the twin gods Chill and Sleet(divine initiate feat). Darmilok is as cold as his magic and as mercurial as the glacier(CN alignment). And so on. It's all the extras and small details that develop the concept. The class and subclass just give you a base to build on. [/QUOTE]
