[QUOTE="CrimsonFlameWielder, post: 6093890, member: 6684473"] [ooc] It's not the mechanical aspect that I am rethinking. I don't need high dmg numbers to be happy. In fact, my inner gamer is squealing with delight at the thought of taking a solo and nova debuffing him to useless defenses, and watching as my companions then nova the crap outta him because they practically can't miss... and then laughing more when that solo can't hit me or my allies for beans. It's the RP aspect of pacifist philosophy that I'm having a hard time with. With so many people who would have exactly the same kind of argument that Bellegon has, how can a pacifist say that they belong on the battlefield along with the others? All night after reading Bellegon's argument I was thinking about how Rava would counter that argument and I'm having a really, really hard time coming up with a justification for it. Yeah, Rava has her reasons what with watching her family get obliterated because of the senseless violence of The Last War (remember, all Cyrans "know" what caused the Day of Mourning event... and Rava attributes it to the evil violence of the many waring factions). I tried to think up some kind of "It's not just about healing, its also about preventing my allies from getting hurt and thwarting my enemies without resorting to violent measures, blah blah", but I just couldn't think of how to word it in a way that Bellegon could not just thwart it again. Gotta say, you had Bellegon make one really well-thought-out argument. =P [/ooc] [/QUOTE]
