Class Disparity

edited 2014-01-06 10:21:46 in General
I'm really sick of the "rebalancing of classes" that's been going around here. We mages and clerics had to fight mindflayers, balors and liches to get where we are right now too. I mean, it's not my fault that some idiot decided to swing a sword around instead of learning how to, say, nail foes to the stratosphere or summon unspeakable fiery evils from planes of darkness through sheer force of will!

    No, it's Death for Pretentious Spellcasters 202. I'm your professor.
  • "It is a matter of grave importance that Fairy tales should be respected.... Whosoever alters them to suit his own opinions, whatever they are, is guilty, to our thinking, of an act of presumption, and appropriates to himself what does not belong to him." -- Charles Dickens

    Inequality between races is an epiphenomenon of class inequality.

  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    Fair point. Which is why we talking mustelid-spirits take no stock in such things. We do as we please as we should please to do it!
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    never could understand why anybody'd want to fight with a sword or whatever when they could learn magick
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    Do both! Then you can fox them twice over!
  • I really don't like how rogues have less starting money than clerics...they should all have equality of wealth

    There's also the fact that D&D/fantasy psychology and sociology is probably a lot simpler than real-life psychology.  Someone could be a sword-wielder because their father was a sword-wielder, or because there were no mages to learn from nearby, or because their town hates mages.
  • I'm always a magic-user of some description in these kinds of games and I suppose I should really try out a fighter sometime.

    or at least like a cleric or something.

    Real problem though is that it takes forever to get a D&D game started and by the time it's started I've already usually lost interest.

    Clearly this means we've allowed Rogues to have too much sway in society.

    Shut up! I bet you're one of those goddamn Yuan-ti, still thinking you and your kind can show your faces here in Greyhawk after the Diamond Lake bombing!
  • BE ATTITUDE FOR GAINS
    All classes deserve the right to have a chance, they should all be equal!

    Rogues can never have too much sway in society. Redistribution of power, etc.
