It's also possible to summarize a definition.
btw, a "warrior" also happens to be a hummingbird from S. America, of the genus Oxypogon it has a helmetlike crest.|||The discussion is that warrior, fighter, etc., is a broad term, allowing you to roleplay. Barbarian is a specific term, doesn't really allow you to do anything, it's a barbarian.|||Nonsense! A barbarian may be of a more specific term, but this is fantasy! There is an infinite set of possibilities to roleplay. What is the definition of barbarian, but one who is uncivil; brutal, cruel, warlike, an insensitive person? Which is only limited by the environment and gear that is available! This discussion has no specific topic, it's a roleplaying fantasy, a dream!
For example, what if I were a Barbarian; a gun-toting, brute, living in the 23rd century, wearing a flak jacket, super rail gun, mini-machine gun, and a pair of matrix sunglasses? I'm still a barbarian at heart, still wearing that loincloth, beneath an exterior shell.
Hey, you think? In the not so distant future, Blizzard might include some futuristic reincarnation of Diablo? A modern rendition of D2.. like the Activision Vampire-series! The idea of multiple worlds, and a futuristic swords/guns.. hellgate london-esque game? I wonder... if that's where we're heading..
(ah, ok maybe there is something to discuss.. hah!)|||You used the word "brute" in both examples. That's the thing. A warrior doesn't have to be brute. A warrior may or may not be a barbarian.|||Neither does the barbarian, he could be a weakling, skinny, and malnurished...
I understand, you're a warrior, yet you have the option of not being barbarian..|||Quote:
A guy who uses a weapon. That's how he's known in RPG's. That's how he's known in DI. You're the one making it complicated.
Maybe that's how you know it. Untill you show me any RPG that uses term warrior for say spellcaster or ranger then I will believe you|||Pointless semantics aside, the warrior was a cool cucumber. If expanded on in D2, I think he might of ended up with combat skills like the Paladin, passives like the Amazon, and buffs like the Barbarian. That being said, I also like the Barbarian. He has a Brock Samson quality to him in that he's violent but not so crazy about it that I lose interest.
I compare him to Brock even though the Barbarian came first because Brock is just that cool.|||Quote:

Huh? A warrior in D1 was a guy with lots of Str who uses a melee weapon. What are you arguing here exactly?|||Just gonna post the D1 warrior here, if you forgot him:
The Warrior came from Khanduras, and has "only a minimal magic knowledge", whereas the Barbarian has none, and they distrust it.
A Warrior class would be an ok replacement of the Paladin if it had more spells than the D1 one, but it's "too generic" as Jay Wilson talked about how they will probably use very clear names. They even pointed out that D1 was very generic.
