PSA: Omniclassing
#4
^ So long as there's a free way to opt out. Such as, for example, if your character has an IC reason to give a class up. For example: you need to go to a dedicated NPC in each city to do it; it'd be out of the way enough that it wouldn't be possible to change classes at the Arena (And obvious as all hell when people say brb and come back a minute later,) but also wouldn't punish people by making them remake or LE just to fix their mistakes.

Examples I've either personally played or been involved with others who've done:
- Giving up the Void Arts because of a scare with void poisoning and IC pressure to not be reckless.
- An archer whose hand went permanently numb after a brutal incident, leaving them unable to wield bows. (However, they could still use their arm, enabling them to strap a kite shield to it, etc) If not for playby/icon issues, they admitted they'd have likely lost the whole arm.
- Someone training to be a warrior because of a family heirloom weapon, but when they're defeated and the weapon is stolen, they admit that it was never their strong suit anyways, and they were better off pursuing something else.

(That, and on a completely personal note, because it's such a small community, locked-in classes also hurts PVE because "Oh crap, this party has no sustain" and "Oh crap, this party is lacking in raw output" and the like. So I actually have two dedicated PVE Omniclassers I will never PVP with purely to be fair, that I use entirely for RP and being able to fit any role. I have severe IC restrictions on their abilities, and I don't spend more than 10-20 SP in each of their classes as further IC justification; they dabble in everything but aren't especially good at anything. I only PVP on more fixed characters, just to be fair, because it's about the roleplay, and omniclassing is bad roleplay.)
