That's relieving, now I just have to keep the stupidity to a minimum. It may be difficult considering the character that Ralt's is somewhat based off of, but he'll probably be OK.

And unless we get a black mage, we won't have to worry about an uncontrolled Ultima, because unfortunately, Ralts will never reach level 5 skills. And sometimes, that makes him very sad. This sorrow will be gone though once he reaches a point that he will be able to cast Nuke twice in one turn at standard speed. Yup, once he can do that, life will be good.

They'd probably need someone to lead them about and could even then be easily manipulated into playing for the bad guys if that sort of thing is allowed.

In the end it is a bit of a dangerous character to play...but it shouldn't be too difficult.

There already is such an ability for the bad guys to malipulate me. It's called Charm magic. Since my Charisma is crap, my character's major downfall aside from social settings is status afflictions (Would be neat if I could get a ribbon.) Anyhow, the only that is pretty much driving him is that dragon companion. Raising it seems like an awful chore to something that never needed to eat or such. ^^;

And while I'm OH SO TEMPTED to make my charisma a 0 and move it to vit, 1 is a big difference from 0 when you're an android.

And that was somewhat my intent. Didn't have Phil specifically in mind, but it DOES sound amusing and practical. (Plus baby dragon might look cute alongside him as well for double cute bonus.)

I think keeping from being stupid will be easy as i'm one of the few tanks we have lol so I don't want to do something stupid that may result in someone elses death. That is against the code my guy follows.

And I just realized something... Kain from Final Fantasy (The one with Cecil and Rosa and such. FF4 I think?) He is also a dragoon of sort. Totally been brainwashed so many times during the course of the game. ^^;

And I'm half expecting something like this to happen to my character (to a lesser extent) due to being the only spear user in the group... http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0136.html

EDIT: It was hard making my character (or any melee character) for that matter because of the increased need of diversity of stats just to be great at one aspect... MAD syndrome (Multiple Attribute Disorder).

A melee type needs Str to do damage feasibly along with dex AND vit to survive the hits back by either dodging or eating the hits (and some melee weapon types like daggers need dex to improve the weapon skill level.) Those with guns and bows get to use Dex only for BOTH offense and evasive defense which opens up space for other stats such as vit for eating the damage that do go through, or INT and CHA as needed. Fortunately, some classes grant a bit of extra bonuses to mitigate this. (Like how my dragoon has 6 evasion beside having the turning ability of a train. He's probably darn fast but not much agility at all.)

I swear to god if you pull a "I'm not really brainwashed I just wanted them to think I was brainwashed so I could help you OOPS! I actually WAS brainwashed and just trying to make you think I wasn't brainwashed but was pretending I was so I could help you so that I could NOT help you" like Kain I will kill you.

And I mean you, not the android.

>_> Even Kain had higher charisma than my character (I think). I doubt your example is EVER going to happen as long as I'm in control of my character. :3

Just to be on the safe side, your Dragoon should never come into contact with Krogo's paladin.

Yeah, I'm afraid I still haven't properly cracked open that book and gone through it, so don't wait up on me.

But I'll see if I can find an interesting idea.

Oh it isn't like he would do anything mischievous. He is a Paladin. Though if the New Truce Bestiary or evil NPC's coming with things that with some proper negotiation skills that will cause badness. Severe badness.

On the New Truce Bestiary I hope that my Blue Mage can get some more magic than they have listed or else this character is a big mistake.

I would never stab him in the back or anything like that. I may bash him with my shield if he ever seems to be falling under the sway of some evil npc though, just to make sure he's alright.
