[QUOTE="Greenfeuer, post: 6809800, member: 6775193"] The whole poison and disguise stuff doesn't fit my character either, or the thief can't ability. - It could if he turned the same road his elder brother did, but his more of a thief type. - I just feel the Spell-less ranger fits my characters "knowlegde and abilities" alot more. The only part of rogue that fits well is the Sneaky and Cunning side, not the stealing/lieing/deciveing/disguise and poison sorta approach to it. Which I feel is a part of it. - The Scout Fighter fis well but lacks hide and favored enemy which I like, and get later on Spell-less Ranger. The rogue mehanics are cool, but half the abilties/theme is not really fitting. Even tho its a cool concept. Here is som bagground story on him and I am going to side track abit but its just to give a sorta "Feeling of him". Maybe too much TL;DR - But now its here :) My character is sorta good natured character and the stealthy murderous sorta side of him is mostly towards Greenskins, Trolls or chaos, undeads. Stuff of nightmares. Thats why I feel favored enemy fits well too. His father was the local tax-collector and his mother merchant, was afraid that hanging out to much with his blacksheep elder brother "Honest Edgar" who was sorta a small-time criminal would make him become one too and his wanderlust and naive mind was easy to get stupid idears, either soil their familiy legacy or him running off to forfill som stupid adventure which this familiy have seen enough of, now they are sorta well living and contempt, no need for such. He was dragged into alot of trouble and misadventures by him, due to his naive and curious mind, but they where often saved by their eldery brother "Rugged Ralf" who was a watchman at the town. And if they got into fights he would be patched up by the twins who was the eldest of his siblings one a barber surgeon the other a sorta medicin woman type merchant.
