I meant a rogue in DnD terms; a character who specializes in stabbing backs for high damage, like my character does. It's just weird to have two characters like that in a group this small.

Besides, you should have first posted your sheet here in the OOC for approval before posting it in the character tab.

I sent it via private message to the GM, he approved it, I posted it in the character section once any necessary corrections were made.

And I guess that's true if we're using very broad terms, the classes of Assassin and Rogue are technically two different things in D&D however.

I didn't know that GM approved it. Well if he's cool with it, then fine. I just think this is like having 3 healers in a party of four or five; a bit imbalanced.

I don't quite follow, there is two of something vaguely similar and suddenly its unbalanced? the same could be said for Mono's Berserker the Paladin, and the giant machine person, as all could be put in the general class of "Fighter", but I don't see any complaints about that.

I never complained, I just found it strange. I'm used to DnD groups having one dedicated backstabbing character. There was also the fact that people were clamoring for a dedicated healer too, but I digress.

Eh, you were lacking a token "evil" team member as well, and healing people whilst they charge off and have all the fun has never been my sort of thing. Maybe something/someone will turn up, otherwise we better stock up on healing potions.

@Ariamis@EldritchOne
I have a healing song thing in my potential list of spell/song/things, so I suppose that could help in a pinch.

Would take away from killing as many XP bags in as short an amount of time as possible though...

And there is definitely considerably difference between a rogueish type and a cold hearted malevolent assassin.

yep, I approved Eldritch's character. Really, the fact that the group doesn't follow the typical dnd group layout speaks a lot about the hodge-podge nature of this RP. It should all work out regardless, you lot will just have to work out the best combat strategies possible. Again, it's your characters; so long as it meets the requirements, I'll allow it. Not gonna deny someone because we already have a 'role' filled.

In essence, Roleplay > Powergaming.

Assuming I read that right.

Though Arcaedos "the giant machine person" is physically based for now, he will be diverging into the future into more diverse and utility based skills. He's not a killer, and rarely a "fighter" in most general terms. Think less Hulk and more Bambi. In fact, Bambi is probably more aggressive than Arcaedos is. He will be your "shield", so think of him as walking, clunking bolts of HP to soak hits and less of smash and crash, unless the RP calls for him to be angry or he accidentally hurts something/someone. That is, until he can do more crowd control later on in the RP. The different between Arcaedos and... say, Zodiac, is that he's a wall and she's a serrated, bloody saw blade with a penchant for stabbity stabbing.

I'm not stating that your character is not different from Ishtar. In fact, looking at you guys I see night and day. If I were to take this into Guild Wars 2 terms, Ishtar is a thief, and Alexander is a mesmer, more so than you both being thieves. If you ever care to, look them up on youtube if you don't know what I'm referencing. The differences are pretty huge.

I feel like I made a mistake posting this comment, but I've had a rough time of things lately IRL, I don't wanna be included in any way to ... disagreements? Arguments? I have no idea what to call what just happened, but I want to have fun. I think we'll do good with what we have, and if Arcaedos can magic-fy us some shields or something with his powers (up to the GM), we'll need less heals. (also I'm not just aiming this comment at you, but to the roleplayers here in general. I re-read it and it seemed like I was directly engaging you. I apologize. I like Alexander)

@Aphelion

Giant robot dudes are good tanks, generally speaking.

I was more just pointing out that saying having two stealth based characters created imbalance didn't make much sense in terms of an argument, given we've got our three heavy hitters/armoured tanks wandering around without argument, not stating that all three characters fit under one banner. In fact that what was what I was directly arguing against, the usage of overly broad categories.

Regardless, whatever issue existed has been resolved. I figure we should let it be now.

Something tells me our Paladin won't like most of the other characters in our little motley crew.

And that those same characters won't like him right back.

This is going to be fabulous, darlings.

Hahaha. Arcaedos will have to be a mediator. Or a punching bag. Either way.

@Aphelion

It'll be fabulous.

As will the mook slaughtering.

Soooo randomly, will we be able to have pets on this adventure? I suddenly have a craving for a mule companion who is far more intelligent than his owner.

"Many mules have matched wits with me, yet almost all have failed!"

On the pet note, I've already talked to Crazy about having a crow pet/familiar. It appeared in my bio, so you just might be able to include a mule.

While we wait, who'd be interested in some hypothetical RP scenarios so we can get a feel for how we'll interact as a group and to pass the time while Crazy does his magykal GM stuff?

I haven't really been spoken to at all about what's happening with the status of the RP, and none of my abilities have been hammered out, so I feel like I could bow out with Arcaedos without it being too much of a bother on the group. It's better to do it now and save Crazy time in the end.

I hope your RP gets going though, it's really amazingly detailed. :]

Same here. Have fun, guys.
