Talk:Roleplay Etiquette

Grakor:

Going to note a caveat to this: while some Mages may work to keep themselves fit, they're still not Warriors. Even at best, a Mage is dividing his attention between the physical and the mental. It's safe to say that no Mage, Rogue, or what have you is going to out-muscle a Warrior that himself focuses on strength.

There is a difference between going outside of a stereotype, and going outside of what makes sense for your class. While some characters within each class are stronger, smarter, more agile, etc. than others, there comes a point where you have to step back and consider if just what you're making makes sense. If you want a character that puts power-lifters to shame, are you sure that you really want to be playing a Mage or a Rogue?

Note: This is not an attack on Siv or Siv's character, but rather a note to ensure what's said here is not used for semi-ridiculous characters later.

Siv:

I'd argue that on the account of combat rogues, but for the most part I'm right there with you. The, "rogues only use daggers" stereotype is really what I was protesting there. Rogues who're thugs are more muscle then stealth or poisons. I think a rogue like that could hold up against most soldiers as far as strength is concerned. Combat rogues are a very strength based group. Overpower a warrior? Nah. Hold their own, likely. I often do feel I should've rolled Siv as a warrior.

I did edit #7 to include your opinion.
