[QUOTE="Xetheral, post: 7926144, member: 6802765"] Thanks for clarifying. I think the confusion from my end stems from not understanding the purpose of pointing out that "all rules are just guidelines" if you did not intend to equate the acts changing any two particular guidelines. I'm still not entirely sure I understand your purpose in making that claim in response to [USER=22779]@Hussar[/USER]'s post, but at least now I know that (contrary to how I originally read it) you're not saying that permitting deviation from a class description is an equivalent change to modifying the basic resolution mechanic to 5e. Since I appear to be having a hard time understanding your posts, I'd like to ask a clarifying question on this one too. Are you saying that [USER=6801228]@Chaosmancer[/USER] is not wrong for [i]playing[/i] his civilized PC with the Barbarian class, but is wrong for [I]saying[/I] that this character had the Barbarian class? Out of curiosity, what is your purpose in making the statement "[y]ou weren't playing a barbarian as the game defines them" if you're not trying to suggest that there is anything wrong in doing so?
