Honestly, I don't play the job. Â In fact, I play Ignacious as personally being learned in the use of a few weapons (specifically, spears and bows), so technically he could be considered two classes. Â In reality, he's neither. Â He picks up skills along the way. Â He was originally trained in the use of the spear, but since then he's picked up dragoon jumping abilities. Â I never specify when he learned them; he's obviously not an Ishgardian and he personally dislikes them. Â However, he certainly picked them up. Â He's also very skilled with a bow and may become a bard, but I won't play that he's specializing in a martial path. Â He's just like any good contract soldier, he's constantly learning anything he can to give him an edge on the street.
But I'll never say he's a "dragoon" or a "bard" since he has a REAL problem with authority. Â I can see that working into some people's stories, so it's certainly on a case-by-case basis. Â Some people become dragoons and want to really play a dragoon, so they're part of that order. Â I have a tendency not to do that unless I'm really wringing something out of it I didn't have before. Â Otherwise, it's too much of a handcuff.
