| Jul 22 at 16:23 | comment | added | KRyan | @TimothyAWiseman Yeah, I struggled with how and how much to center that. My original answer, even, was “no and it wouldn’t make sense if you could” but then I remembered these lore things, which means officially at least some classes are things that exist in the game world. But it’s notably not found on things like fighter where it really wouldn’t work. Tome of Battle’s warblade is probably the weirdest one, but even that can just be a name coming from Reshar’s dojo. | |
| Jul 22 at 16:20 | comment | added | TimothyAWiseman | This is a beautiful answer. It is worth putting more emphasis on the fact that his would conflict with the way a lot of games are run since classes are an abstraction rather than something that exits in the world....but the question implies that this game is not one of those games. | |
