RPC has moved! These pages have been kept for historical purposes

I don't enjoy saying I am X class in RP because....well...I don't really think fantasy based classes are realistic or versatile enough for my tastes. It is about how my character carries herself rather than what she is skilled at. It doesn't matter if she is holding a spear or a dagger, she is going to go kill with it. She is based off of wild animals and ancient humans so think someone who fights with instinct.

So I guess you can count me as one of the ones who doesn't think about levels and classes. I think about fighting styles first. Particularly because I am not Rping while leveling so there is no one to rp my character's advancement with.

I totally agree with you in that sometimes a class can be very limited in scope. Soldiers (Warriors/fighters) throughout history often had to gain proficiency in a number of different weapons and, in many cases, some form of unarmed combat style. It has always bothered me a bit when a class has been shoved into a tiny little box a-la "Oh you're a Warrior? Then you only know how to use an axe."

And I completely relate to your last point. I always had difficulty RP'ing advancement with any degree of consistency. Usually because no one else is there to partake in my advancement ._.
