Casters kick ass in Dungeons and Dragons.
Litany of War, Prayer, and recitation make me nearly damn invincible.

I don't like rogues?

I remember you saying somewhere in one of your newsposts something to that effect. Or I could be absentmindedly misquoting. I'll try looking for it.

[Edit] My error, you said in your episode 489 post "Let's face it, Dual Wield is there to make Rogues look like they're doing something in between Combo and Finishing Moves (zing on you, Lydia!)". That's not exactly saying you don't like them.

But, then you go on to say in a most studious manner, "Oh, and Alliance can suck it." For that I slap you with a glove.

Well, i wonder how the 'light warriors' are going to get outa this one... so when comes the part where the dark warriors start to slaughter them?

I'm not particularly fond of rogues either. But they beat high magick campaighns.

We all know i'm a spell-casting machine. :bmage:

But I can't stand when EVERYONE can do something, that's what turned me off to Final Fantasy.. What's the point of calling magick rare and mysterious if only like three classes CAN'T cast "some" spells?! It cheapens magick-items and makes spellcasting appear dull and overused. Zelda does a better job at keeping a balance.

Hense I made a campaighn where there is only a handful of casters which conspirasize to keep thier power a secret because to know too much could be catosprhophic to the world, psionics who are jealous and use science to "manifest" "powers" which intragues both sides as it's a differant source of strength entirely. And even a mutant class who's sole purpose is to be an offspring of the conflicting energies of magick and psionics. Who pretty much dominates the playing field up untill level 9, I gave him a little bit extra at level 13 of learning eight skills of his or her choosing as class skills but by then people are thinking "pthpppt! I maxed out the skills needed at level 5!"

It's not easy creating balance, but me and my group think I did a pretty good job and no-one is complaining about the lack of DBZness. :bmage:

Knowing the Dark warriors? They'll screw it up on their own. Garland will think Thief can't do things on the left, that they should teach Red Mage how to make a fire...

That, or if the Light Warriors should fight and lose, they'll have a big "Seeing the light" (No pun intended.) moment, full of Tolkien-esqe religious symbolism. I can just imagine now... Fighter the White.

Or Sarda might actually do something for a change... speaking of which, what ever happened to Sarda and WM?

We have been proven wrong. Fighter is the smartest Light Warrior. But look at this comic again. Garland, previously thought to be the stupidest of the Dark Warriors, has succesfully discovered the Light Warriors' weakness. Bikke and Drizz'l wer fooled by Black Mage and Thief who said that they doesn't speak english, and Vilbert was too engulfed in the world of LARP to deal with Red Mage. This all proves that Garland is the most competent member of the Light Warriors.

There's also the fear of Forest Imps; Garland hasn't run into any lately, but what will happen if he does?

Garland got help, remember? He got over his problem. He did throw away the poisoned food that the Light Warriors were to eat, but by the time the Light Warriors would eat the food and the poison would kill them they would be far from land , what would they have to eat? And look here, Garland has clearly shown that he knows how other people think and uses this to make plans that work. Making Garland the Smartest of the Dark Warriros.

Yes, Thief has a weakness. His Greed. You see, you set up a trap that has some desireable, valuable, or exploitable treasure within it, and Thief will not be able to resit it's siren call, so to speak. Fighter just misinterpreted his weakness, and think it's the hastiness the greed leads to.

---

Well, that would be a weakness except for the fact thief always gets away with it and is never caught, and unless his teammates interfere, usually comes away much richer than before. I cant think of an example where theif actually got himself into trouble he didnt thief his way out of, so to speak. Looks like thief is invincible and that he has his so-called character vice covered.
