Message: <blockquote data-quote="Greg K" data-source="post: 7800468" data-attributes="member: 5038">I don't find the Bounty Hunter or the Fighter Dervish oddball.As for the Archaeologist Rogue,  while not appropriate for any campaign that I would run, I don't consider the archaeologist to be oddball either. It would be appropriate for some worlds. There were antiquarians in  both 11th century China whom analyzed alleged artifacts. There were also antiquarians in ancient Rome (whom were more like historians than archaeologists). Even before then, there were some rulers that were interested in relics Therefore, it is not unreasonable that someone like them could not go adventuring in search for artifacts in a campaign for their own study or to bring back artifacts if  appropriate for a culture. Then there is there is the rise of Antiquarians during the Renaissance, I could definitely see an archaeologist Rogue as an adventuring antiquarian type during this time.Finally, I don't think a Nymph blood sorcerer is oddball either since several mythological Greek characters had a parent whom was a nymph. In some tales, the sorceress, Circe, was either a nymph or the daughter of Hecate. However, in some others tales, her mother is an Oceanid nymph (and her father the god Helios).  It is to me, therefore,  far less oddball to have a half nymph character for D&D than drawing on X-men and many other characters from comic books, much anime, Star Wars, etc (and, before anyone thinks otherwise,  I like like my superhero comics, anime, and Star Wars.  I like  playing/running various superhero games for comic book heroes and anime inspired campaigns as well as having played d6 Star Wars rpgs).</blockquote>
