So I am going to say it again as concise as I can.1. "Your Class is Not Your Character" is not a rule in any book. its not wrong and its not right. Its just an opinion on style of play.2. "Your Class is Your Character" is not a rule in any book. its not wrong and its not right. Its just an opinion on style of play.- Wizards of the coast staff has come out at almost any chance they could get to say this is deliberate to allow as much freedom as possible.Also most every player and GM holds "Your Class is Your Character" true on some classes (usually Paladin, Warlock, Cleric, and/or Druid specific to them) and "Your Class is Not Your Character" on all other class.Their is only conflict when a player or GM invests into one of these opinions and the player or gm disagrees with that investment with investment into their opposing opinion. This boils down to opinion vs opinion conflict resolution that is just part of life not anything to do with the game. This escalates and results in them both digging in because people don't see any evidence saying they are wrong, correctly assume that their opinion is right (since it is not wrong) but all so, incorrectly assume all other opinions must there for be wrong (because they are right and directly opposite). The problem is that people have difficulty excepting opposites as not being mutually exclusive. I said above that the opinion are not right or wrong and in this paragraph they are correct in assuming they are right. That is not a contradiction. An opinion is not right or wrong. Your opinion is always right to you, because you have the right to make it so. That doesn't make it right to anyone else unless they choose it.So you ether work out an understanding of your opinions you can both live with or you avoid the conflict by not involving the factors that bring it up. In this case, avoid specific classes and/or multi-class combinations. The thing is this a life skill more than D&D class topic because you will find this EVERYWHERE once your aware of it and know to look for it. Politics, Relgion, Morals, and the list goes on. It's the reason for the rule of not talking about religion and politics in public because often you can't resolve it so you just have to avoid the drama.Not really shorter hu? Fail.</blockquote>
