I think Sigil wont miss the chance to give a class a really unique style - like spikes for the Dread Knight or special monk equipment or even special holy paladin weapons.
Of course everyone can play the class as it suits himself, but in my opinion you have to adapt to a class you play - like you
should never see a druid not being fond of nature or a bard without an instrument.
So I guess the typical
Dread Knight will be associated with fear and lust for power and you will see special equipment for those that add to this reputation - at least I'd like to create such cool stuff if I were a designer
