SouthLab: player character questions (race and class).

[joshksingh]

SouthLab currently has a greatly stripped down selection of races and classes compared to other roguelikes. There are three races: humans, elves, and dwarves. There are four classes: managers (warriors), physicists (archers), logicians (wizards), and brewers (fighter-mage hybrid). At the moment I have a number of issues

Athlete is a new one. You're probably thinking about when I first mentioned the class name changes; apparently I wasn't totally satisfied with Manager, and you suggested Executive. I did initially decide to change it, but "executive" isn't really a standalone word compared to manager, and I've also thought it might be especially confusing for the many roguelike players who don't natively speak English, among other problems, so ultimately I changed it back. I may ultimately change it to something else entirely, who knows

I was having a snarkgasm. I think the whole actuarial mission lines up with the rogue concept. Their work can silently destroy you, and yet you hardly know who the hell they are or what they're really doing. That is the rogue's bread and butter; they need the shadows and the sleight of hand. Actuaries only need shadows and sleight of hand figuratively, but that's the joke. The thing about the Salesman is that wouldn't come of a specific Ockham University program. Unless I'm having a brain fart
