Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chaosmancer" data-source="post: 7921932" data-attributes="member: 6801228">Why do you insist that we are changing lore? If I make a barbarian with the background of knight, what lore am I changing? Must all barbarians be semi-literate savages who eschew the comforts of civilization? I still rage, I still am using the barbarian mechanics, after all, barbarians get access to medium armor and shields, using those and a longsword are completely within the realm of possibility. Does the nobility not exist in your game? If I want to play a sinner who was forced into a pact with a Celestial, and is being forced to commit good deeds to make up for the stealing of a powerful holy relic, am I breaking the lore of the world? Do holy relics not exist? Celestials? Do the forces of good never compel people to take on quests?And frankly, all good characters are unique. What makes Gandalf different from Dumbledore? They are both old, wise wizards. But, they are different characters. They approach problems differently. They see the world and their role in it differently. Neither one of them is the same as Merlin either.Friar Tuck, Judge Frolo, and Saint Peter would all be religious figures, following the same religion too. They are vastly different characters, in fact, other than that single connection point of religion, they share nothing in common with each other. So, why must we say "all clerics must follow the personality and path to clerichood" why must we say "all wizards are the exact same". Look up "gandalf ripoffs", they are all generic versions of gandalf, none of them are as interesting as the unique take that the original used.</blockquote>
