I have some theories as well. In truth, I think you don't play hypothetical scrabble. You just consider what would be happening if you were playing actually hypothetical scrabble. Which is, in and of itself, what you are doing in thinking about that. These 2 things seem to be exclusive, since I am generally not playing most games while I not play them (unless I am playing WoW while "not playing" it because my schoolwork isn't done yet). I've gotten myself confused now. I think this might be some sort of paradox.

Screw the whole thing, I'm gonna agree with the other BM avatar guy.

I... have some theories.

Aw, man. I was looking forward to Dragoon being a good straight man for the group and entering into some kind of crazy love triangle with White Mage.
Everything in the world happens to hurt Black Mage after all, so having some kind of protective boyfriend/husband impaling a crap out of him while White Mage beats him with her hammer is like double the fun.

I honsetly don't think Dragoon is competent enough for the "protective older brother/boyfriend" routine. Its just unbecoming of him. So far I've noticed that their level of general intelligence....

1. Fighter
2.Sarda
3. White Mage
(those 2 are interchangeable since white mage is god.. and so is sarda also...)??
4. Thief
5. Red Mage
6. Black Mage
7. The real light warriors
8. Blackbelt
9. Dragoon
10. An ord eel
11. Fighter

Dragoon is lower than Blackbelt, I think he is in no position to be given a new role in the story that would require intelligence of any kind.

Dragoon is a slacker, he's doing nothing at all for the group. He's mooching off their EXP and now trying to get in on their "booty". Even though I am against Dragoon mooching off the party I can't let Thiefs' taking of the credit for Muffins' death go unchallenged. All thief did was almost die, and then watch as Muffin was some how slain from above. Although I do find Dragoons' hearing quite astute and should be rewarded with him some how surviving the immediate and almost certain death.

Sorry, but I have to say something. Black mage should be above Red Mage because of Red Mage's lack of reality. He thinks in his own world and therefore ignores reality. This severly hinders his abilty to use his otherwise vast amounts of knowledge to actual use.

Well, you've seen QUKRX. It's before LR, but after KGQ. Then there are, of course, other letters like NY, RRR, HCH, EH, PF, and several others. Norse letters are excluded because they defy even the defiance of convention, and have their own game for the REALLY hardcore players.

If you want to be fancy about it, thats probably a judgement of wisdom and not intelligence. (not that I don't agree with you)

EDIT: I just realized this, but isn't dragoon an awful lot like Blackbelt? I'm aware that there is no chance he is Blackbelt in disguise or anything like that, but his character traits are almost identical. His failure to realize that Muffin was a dragon reminds me of Blackbelt's getting lost in a linear castle, and when he used Jump on Muffin it reminded me of when Blackbelt ripped Garland apart with his bare hands. Kind of an interesting thing to notice.

If dragoon leaped to avoid white mage, maybe she is the booty trap.
