For a class to be justified I think you just need a unique visual identity and semi-unique playstyle identity. With that in mind I think stuff like Monks, Rangers, and Bards are fine while stuff that are obvious hybrids like Paladins or are essentially the same as another class with minor differences like Barbarians are just bloat.

Fundamentally speaking, whats the difference between a Rogue and a Fighter? One guy knows how to pick locks and the other knows how to swing a sword?

Mage is different because he has the ability to cast magic spells, no normal dude can do that, but any faggot can learn how to swing a sword or pick a lock.

Fighter/Rogue is an arbitrary distinction and shouldn't exist.

Fighter/Mage/Cleric makes more sense as your foundation. That better fits the classic Tank/DPS/Healer trinity.

rogue is less strong and more nimble and he's more about covert tactics than fighting, rogue's job is to disarm traps, pick locks, scale walls, get sneak attacks and run

fighter is better at hitting hard, grappling, tanking etc.

You sound very boring.
And if we're culling classes because of "bloat", why does thief make the cut? Except for lockpicking (which isn't very important) and stealth (which is an awkward fit for RPG mechanics), he's just a dexterity fighter. Cleric makes more sense.

There should also be different types of fighting specializations, different types of magic, and different types of skill and cunning. A master conman can be different from the master of stealth assassins can be different from a master of chemistry and poison can be different from a master of engineering, crafting, traps, and siege warfare. A giant great sword wielder may be different from a peerless archer or an agile master duelist. An oracle may be different from an elementalist, psychic, druid, or necromancer. That's why being able to mix and match abilities to fit your character concept works better than classes.

Fighter fights, even if a fighter uses stealth at some point to gain an advantage and get the drop on an enemy, when the battle starts he will go toe to toe with the enemy and fix him in place by facing him directly, even a ranged fighter is heavily armored crossbowman or archer that faces the enemy in open battle.

The job of the Rogue is being a skill monkey, he is a scout, a spy, he helps the party outside of combat where, and in combat he can deliver a precise sneak attack against a key target like a mage while the others are distracted, if you only have mages and fighters, you'll be predictable, found first, trapped, ambushed and killed, the rogue is the wild card.

>Mage is different because he has the ability to cast magic spells, no normal dude can do that, but any faggot can learn how to swing a sword or pick a lock.
This a very weird take, anyone can learn magic, provided they have the INT necessary, anyone can be a fighter or a rogue, if they have the required physicality, STR or DEX.

>>737870252
Nah, they're both just dudes, regular ass dudes, one isn't nimble or strong because he knows how to pick a lock or swing a sword, they both exist within the boundaries of normal human distributions, neither are special and the distinction is arbitrary, they just dudes with a certain set of skills nothing more.

Rogue is bloat, its just a Fighter who specced into knives, acrobatics, and lockpicking, instead of swords, and armor. Same goes for the Ranger, you're just a fighter who specced into bows, stop pretending you're something special.

Mage justifies itself as a distinct class because the ability to cast spells is not something anyone can do, its an inherent difference between you and everyone else.

Cleric can also do this because they gain their spells not from Arcane study but through devotion to some deity.

Fighters they fight on the front, they're the tanks.
Mages do the damage, they stand behind them and hurl fireballs
Cleric pray and heal up everyone's wounds.

That's your trinity, Figher/Mage/Cleric, rogue is just a poor fighter who can afford good weapons or armor.

rogue isn't bloat because rogue is not a fighter, rogues are there to help the party not get eaten by a mimic, not step on a pressure plate and explode the entire dungeon, and steal some keys from an encounter that's impossible to fight and would wipe the party
rogues don't fight at all preferably, they exist for utility during dungeon exploration that no one else has

So in your mind the rogue is just a particularly lazy/cowardly fighter who studied a couple trap schematics. You guys are really bending over backwards to try to justify the rogue's existence but Its clear to everyone its just another fighter and pure bloat.

What's stopping Bob the fighter from studying the same trap diagrams and telling the party, yeah maybe don't step on the pressure plate? Hell what's stopping Merrewick the mage from doing the same? Rogue is bloat, it has no reason to be its own class, its a set of skills anyone can learn.

So why does that warrant a class then? Why would it arbitrarily be important to note that they're about fighting, instead of having the class name be babysitters or accountants? Sounds like everyone is a fighter since everyone can do it. Just have mages who do everything that dudes do, including fighting, and they use magic of whatever kind. No need to have bloat or arbitrary distinctions.

Usually the reason was something gay like he watched a couple kung-fu movies and then thought putting Jackie Chan in the party alongside Robin Hood, Conan, Aragorn, and Gandalf was a good idea.

I will replace mage with adept and thief with rogue

And then change that each of these 3 classes have mamy of possible Subclasses/specialisations like for example fighter can become barbarian, knight, defender, juggernaut, spellsword, paladin, dark knight etc.

Rogue can become thief, dweller, trasure hunter, bounty hunter, bandit etc.

Adept can become priest, mage, warlock, summoner, necromancer etc.

yap away nigger every RPG is based on the grand-daddy of it all, the reason there's mana pools is because of the evolution in tabletop RPGs from spell slots (d&d) to mana pools as suggested by homebrew-content and house ruled games where that was the case in the 70s and 80s.

It's not so straight forward, you cast the same amount of spells per day, you have a smaller pool of spells to pull from, but you get to choose your spells on level up so you immediately have access to rare spells, you are less versatile overral, but you can use any of your known spells at any time, you don't lose out on spells you didn't happen to prepare that day, this is really critical, in BG1 and BG2 specially, sorcerer is strictly more powerful than a wizard, since you only need to pick some key spells and you can spam them more freely than a same level mage would.

i don't know if this is a hot take but imo if your wizard doesn't have at least 3 of the following then it's not a wizard

>grey hair
>a long pointy beard almost to the floor
>a BLUE robe with yellow stars or other astrological symbols on it as a pattern
>a BLUE pointy cap with yellow stars or other astrological symbols on it as a pattern
>a crystal orb
>a wooden magic wand ending in a big yellow star on the pointy end

i'm so sick and tired of all these shitty poser wizards who don't even look like wizards at all in games
if the game doesn't let me at least wear a blue robe and cap as a wizard i immediately throw in the trash and spit on it

mage is broad and means a lot of things, arguably even wizard and warlock
wizards are scholars and it's a title usually only given to someone with experience, evolved from an apprentice or acolyte; like teacher vs student
warlock is an evil scholar who may actually just be stupid or incompetent and made deals with demons (or some equivalent) in order to get power now, instead of putting in the work (or hit a roadblock after becoming powerful but still wanted more power)

>Dancer escort, also maxed charisma with added agility and endurance, seduction slut who learns the most guarded secrets of the most powerful men in bed, with assassination expertise for those the Diplomat can't reach peacefully
So dancer is just a spy who uses seductive dancing as a means to an end. Why not simply call it spy then.

This is why these hyper-granulated class systems don't work for me. I mean what does as spy do? Just the same thing. Except the spy can use other methods in order to do its job, the dancer must dance, otherwise why call it dancer.

This is why these hyper-granulated class-systems don't work for me. There is som much overlap, and very specific little niches to distinguish the classes from one another, so that during the everyday course of an adventure they are bound to feel extremely samey, and every class has its more specialized subclass, that is only better in that one specific scenario that occurs once in a bluemoon, but worse any other time. Also a lot of it just feels shoehorned, because the whole thing has to be a triangle.
