Again, I do not understand why you feel a combat role influences how you roleplay your character. Many of my characters, for the RP standpoint, could be any role or no role at all; many others fit naturally in to a certain role (The chivalrous knight who wants to protect his comrades, the...

A few thoughts I've had from reading this: 1) "Roles restrict roleplaying" seems to be a common complaint. I do not get this at all. Generally, when I come up with a character for a game (if it's one that's going to feature a good amount of RP, as opposed to just hack and slash), I come up with...

I would like a key This game sounds interesting I want to try it

I wonder if it might have something to do with there not being a Warlord in Essentials yet.

Well, Kayanan's work is beautiful. I think the difference is I wouldn't feel right laughing at the banter if the comic around it was done in that style. For something that's designed, on the whole, to be much more serious, Kayanan's art would be much better. But the Drizzt stories never felt...

Ahh, this was my initial assumption as well. He certainly fits the part quite well. But his character sheet at the back of the comic lists him as a Fighter (with the Knight build from Essentials).

I picked this up today and I genuinely enjoyed it. A lot of the banter really does remind me of actual banter during games (quite a bit, actually, given that I'm currently *playing* a Dwarf Paladin of Moradin, and I tend to snark a lot back and forth with the group's Elf). As with most stuff I...

In some of my 3.5 games, I played with folks who forgot they'd used all their 3rd level spells, forgot that they didn't actually prepare a fireball, forgot how much damage fireball did or how many squares it'd hit, forgot that they didn't yet *have* 3rd level spells, forgot how many feats and...

Well, in a story that doesn't have magic, that's really what a Paladin is going to be.

Ooh, good call. Michael definitely has some Paladin traits. Always fighting for the little guy, refusing payment for jobs on a few occasions... Nate Ford (Leverage) is another one in the same vein. He and his team of thieves only take jobs to go after bad people, and Nate often uses the law...

I'd say the Operative from Serenity. He believes that he's working to create a better world, he supports law and order as an agent of the government, and he fully believes that his actions - even if it means killing people - are going to make the universe a better place. He has the humility to...

Mal from Firefly/Serenity uses a healing surge or two. "Do you know what your sin is, Mal?" "Oh, hell, I'm a fan of all seven. But right now, I'm gonna have to go with Wrath." Now, *after* those big fights Mal and the rest of the crew are often barely standing and need to rest and/or see the...

Well, first there was the burning. Then there was the smoldering. And then there was the cursing (mostly good-natured) about my corpse being looted. Which led rather directly to the rest of the party getting drunk, under the guise of mourning my death. And the next day they found a new...

Obviously, it depends quite a bit on the sort of flavor you want for your game. I personally like Eberron's take on it - some gods may be nothing more than concepts that people believe in, and get power through their belief, while other gods are real, physical entities. That said, I'm...
