Warrior-class is not an identifier.
REG entries, for example, list warrior-class-ness as "class", not as an identifier.
You are thinking from a realistic perspective rather than a gameplay perspective.
I see no reason why it shouldn't. It should be errata'd.
Identifiers have no effect on how the card itself is played.
Hey,Quote from: Cameron the Conqueror on January 21, 2009, 12:54:42 PMI see no reason why it shouldn't. It should be errata'd.The fact that it would require errata to a card that is working perfectly fine right now is the very reason why it shouldn't.Tschow,Tim "Sir Nobody" Maly, WildCard Secretary of Defensewww.freewebs.com/redemptionne
Identifiers started out as simple identification of a card for targeting purposes. However, identifiers have expanded roles now. Most of the newer cards containing an "X" do more than just identify a card.
Regardless of the intent or use of identifiers or the "identifier space" on a card, the Class of character never changes (and personally I would have a problem with being able to un-WC a character). Trying to fit it into "realism" is not really the answer, since there are so many unrealistic situations in Redemption already (i.e. OT banding to NT).Consider Goliath's Armor - having Goliath retain his armor because of an ability listed in the "identifier" space does not make Goliath Warrior-Class. Goliath will always have the same Class (none) until he is reprinted as a WC character.
I'm simply proposing that class be added to the long list of other identifiers: testament, gender, uniqueness, etc. I don't believe it impacts anything else in the game accept for Self. Like testament, class would not lose it's identity. A NT character is always a NT character. A warrior-class character is always a warrior-class character. In the case of Self, it is just copying the full identity of the hero it targets. And speaking of copy, I just remembered Innumerable. After searching (which is useless right now with most threads gone) I did not find anything about Innumerable copying "class". For the most part it would be moot except for an evil SA that targets warrior-class heroes.
