Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ah, well I got all the formulas figured out. Damage is Str-Def. And magic is Int-Res. I like to use stats so that no one can God mode.

Thanks, everyone can improve, even if they don't try they can improve but not that much. I went from having horrible grammar to good grammar, when I started Rping too. So whoever says that Rping is bad for you, then they are wrong. ^_^

Also Rayne, the healers can go and deal damage if they have to, but their damaging skills make the healer have some down time before they can use the skill again. (Edit) Also they have passive skills that increase their defense, and they have awesome resistance.

I know you're already married- I was referencing one of the old '04 topics. 3nodding

"Ooh.. When did Versi sign up! He seems to know alot of everything. ninja "

"But didn't he just recently show-up? "

"Ohoho... A Mystery."

People should make an Rp about me. and the healing powers of my mod powers. Like the power to make an obscene post go away..

Realizing I'm new to the guild - I'll still post my opinion on healing. Because, new to the guild or not, I've been role playing for years.

First, I like to play healers. Or other party support type characters. There's actually more room to explore the character if there are real things she/he has to strugle with, like combat. Inner monologues while the character tries to avoid getting hit because she/he can't sustain that kind of damage but at the same time feels horrid that they arn't out there helping their friends is a great place to get some good role play done. I don't want Hoss-y characters. I want characters with skills that are useful and realistic but that don't always help in every situation. But maybe that's just me.

As for healers in an RP, I'd say that depends on the game. In a modern/realistic setting I'd say a healer is someone who's a docotor and can sew you back together, but that's not a 'the wound is gone' kind of thing. Or even just someone who'd CPR certified could be a stopgap for healing.

On the other hand, a high fantasy game where there are wizards throwing fireballs is the kind of place that makes perfect sense to have a magical healer. Someone who can only acess healing so many times per day or something. [This is the kind of place rule structires like you find in D&D come in handy.]

Other times it makes sense that if you have a psionic character she/he can transfer the wound from someone else to themselves. Effectivly healing the wounded person but at the cost of taking on the wound to her/himself.

It all depends on the game.

But healers are a great type of character. So too are theives who can't fight but can sure open the locked doors and find the traps. Or the random pixie who's only real skill is that she can link everyone in the party telepathically. There's more to roleplaying than having a combat character. And anyone who can't see that isn't looking at the depth that can be explored with some of the other character options.


[Okay - I just typed all that and feel I've come off as a bit of a snob - and I'm sorry. Please don't take it that way.]

I sound like a complete idiot sometimes^_^ (okay a lot....)

are there tents? It's a common item but quite useful... They also have a dramatic effect because you're not exposed but you're not completely concealed either.

Edit: GRRR typos!

lol if they're in a cave there is no need for tents except for privacy. It's also not that hard to carry a tent in a pack. Really all you need is large cloth and a few sticks or poles to support it. If you're doing it in modern times it's even more convenient but there wouldn't really be much need for tents at all...

Well, what if the healer runs out of Mp, and they need to revive their fallen allies. Also it is taking place in about... I don't know when... But it isn't modern times, it is only fantasy, with no guns, or cars.
