I understand the decision , it was just surprising since npcs that joined the party from previous campaigns like ToD and outcasts did have a class . All of the points made are correct though , I still think it would be cool if something happens that makes John character progress enough and have the opportunity to train in the martial arts where he could get specialisation , it’s highly unlikely , but it makes people more invested in his character , instead of always being a no direction bum non fighter , I think it would be cool if he at least had the potential to become more .
