I have a silly question, community.

For those of you who have played RPGs... what kind of character would you be? A knight, a magic-user, a healer... would you specify in an element or use mostly physical skills? Or would you simply buff others' stats?

Call it curiosity! I'm quite fond of RPGs.

Damn... I haven't played a video game since I was a kid, but when I did I usually liked the fighter characters that were the heavy hitters.

[phoenix_temple]

What about when your health was low?

[no_wing_knight]

I usually bought as many healing items as I could before I took my character out.

[phoenix_temple]

Very smart!

[phoenix_temple]

What kind of magic?

[phoenix_temple]

Any specific element? I know you fought with wind... when we fought together.

What I'd actually be is difficult to determine, but ideally I'd be a balanced character, having decent skill in different areas instead of specializing in one.

[phoenix_temple]

So you'd be good at everything and great at nothing? A good approach!

[bluespring]

One never knows what skills will be important. It's best to be versatile.

[phoenix_temple]

Indeed! I believe this the best approach to any combat situation... well, aside from being great at everything, I mean.

Probally a character that uses weapons that don't get penalized by being in the back row.

Or one that learns enemy moves, like a blue mage.

What type of character would you be, ma'am?

[phoenix_temple]

Long range attacks are wonderful in combat! I'd most certainly love you on my team!

Hm... were I in a game, I'd be the acolyte-type. Mostly healing and buffers, but a few attacks.

[morethanabot]

Yeah. They let you see the battle with a bit more distance and they tend to be faster in games!

Ah! A character that would get used quite a bit then, especially with the bosses and endgame!

[phoenix_temple]

Though their accuracy isn't always very good.

It's just my personality!

...lol rpg character

[changerofwilds]

I would, naturally, use magic.

\o

[phoenix_temple]

What kind?

[changerofwilds]

Offensive spells. Ice, mostly, but a few good spells to disorient and confuse. Not to mention my shapeshifting which can make a good close-range fighter if need be.

[phoenix_temple]

Oh, you're a shapeshifter?
