Yeah.... xd Wrong indeed.It's even scarier when they involve you....
I'm just glad my friend uses his hand to symbolize the blade when he wants to slow-mo LARP a fight.To give a better visual of his character's actions.he's a member of the Society of creative anachronism (SCA) and fights sometimes with those medieval style weapons..so he's all into that kinda thing.

I have two problems with all this DnD talk...
1.) I never have nor ever will play DnD. The only board games that tickle my fancy are Trivial Pursuit, Life, Monopoly and Scrabble.
2.) I am however familiar with the game mechanics and know that most characters in the guild have no set parameters in the DnD universe. Mainly characters like Mastema and myself, be it a Fallen Angel, Seraphim, or even Master...the uber-God going through dimensions and doing whatever he wishes villian. Not saying I don't trust you all DnD "pros" to come up with statistics for us, but I'd be more comfortable if the actual game makers did it. Which they won't, so...I see the whole thing as assinine. *Shrugs*

I might just agree with you for once Xol... WW might be a better system for villians, but for the poor nobodies it would suck... so putting a system to people just might not work.

I was saying to use it as a solid base.It's much better then having a million views on something.Thats where arguements come from.If we had a solid base for things then everything would be fair and legit.
Master for example,Mastema,and Even Xol,could all be represented through DnD terms and such.However,as I said,it seems as though it'd be more a base then anything if it happened.
We don't have die rollers or charsheets on gaia,so I don't expect that strict a way to be placed in effect.

Don't get me wrong, I totally agree with setting down a base system that people have to follow by with their characters. However, it's impossible for characters and I hate to use the same example, like Mastema and myself, to follow a system that was not intented for us.
Put it this way...if you're a good RP'er then you know your boundries and what you can and cannot do with your character. This goes especially for people that have made characters that are extremely powerful, but they find ways of making them accessible for the people who can't RP as well.
And to put it bluntly, you can't just stick a rule sheet in someones face and say do it, because sometimes it's not that easy. Especially when your talking about RP'ing online where the only limiting factor is a persons imagination.

That's exactly the problem the guild seems to be having.The fact that peoples imaginations are unlimited.Role playing is a game,and a game without rules is not a game.It's niceto know you agree with having a base.I think everyone should. 3nodding
There's been a lot of talk of changing characters and such.Some people may have to do it.It'd be a shame,but everyone has to make changes.I'm just saying that the people who desgined those RP books and such were paid to make it fair and balanced.Characters that gain such power GAIN it through their work IC.I'm not saying you haven't gained your power through work,I'm just saying that's how it goes in DnD.
Unless you make a godly charrie and fight everythine one hit kill style.No fun in that,and so no one does it.Or if they do,DM's don't let them play that charrie.That's essentially what's happeing now.The BC doesn't need/want gods playing,and won't allow it.At least,that's what I'm seeing.

Yeah...but, how are Mastema or TJ just going to STOP being a Fallen Angel? One day they are Fallen Angles and the next they're Forest Imps or whatnot? One day I'm a Seraphim and the next I'm just an ordinary demon? These and many others you would have us change have been what they've been for so long now that just changing it wouldn't not only not fit the current RP's, they'd destroy some of the current RP's. This goes with what I was saying earlier...some people have the ability to RP their character with boundries in mind that allow them to be super-powerful one moment and able to be bested by a weaker warrior the next. It's all a matter of experience and respect for the RP.
Yes I agree with changing the guild, but to have people change the characters they've been RP'ing for such lengthy periods of time is not only unfair...it's damaging to the RP as a whole.

Oh the joy of something so fickle and hard to work around or with.
The way I see it it'd also be unfair to set rules,and have some exempt from them.It'd put the new players at a loss simply because they are new.It's not that I don't trust people's judgement,it's just that if rules are made and set they'll have to be set to everyone.
Of course,this is just the way I see it.The major decisions aren't up to me.I'm just putting forth my view.I think it would suck to have to get rid of a character you played for a long time,and that yes RP's would be damaged,but we need rules and a base.Evidently.
I suppose that's where my suggestion of revisiting and admitting denying the profiles comes into play.To see which characters are/aren't acceptable.
EDIT
I think that's the intentions of the application to level-6 theory.So that villains can still be wicked strong,but still bested by the lower levels.
Like I said,this is touchy.

There might not be a good solution that makes everyone happy. I do know that some characters have gotten way too powerful and Focht is one of them. One way or another, I intend to drop him to a level that even a beginner can beat him at his best if they get lucky enough or think things through. Xol, you have just made the one point that is the basis for the entire system right now. Xol some people have the ability to RP their character with boundries in mind that allow them to be super-powerful one moment and able to be bested by a weaker warrior the next. It's all a matter of experience and respect for the RP.

Inaluke....lol.Watch yourself.Xol doesn't take kindly to people annoying him,trust me.
And since I'm on the subject of Xol,I have to say,I was wrong in my judgement.Xol you seem to be a lot cooler then I thought before.I guess you're easy to get along with when I'm not an a**. wink
Sadly,not everyone has the same sagely wisdom and respect,or expirience.Sadly,some need rules to keep them within the guidlines.
