What's the relationship between the fae and the divine? Is there a clear line dividing them?
For classes, consider questions like
Cleric: How to make this fantay trope more like a western priest?
Druid: How does this class relate to the celtic nature priests called "druids"?
Holy Warrior: Can only Christians (or adherents of whatever faith represents Christianity) be Holy Warriors? What are appropriate powers for this exclusive religion anyway?
Knight: What's the connection between being a mighty knight and status?
Wizard: How do these relate to the wizards of Western folklore?
I agree that variation accross Europe complicates things a lot. Then again, the Pyramid article covered everything from Japan to India, noting variations.
