But I belive it would be the closest to what you claim. yes, but at the same time you can make up for one short coming with another great attribute... my drunk paliden that was a coward who lost his faith...was also the Face of the party and the party detective...yes witch is why a long string of down grades is a problem... one or two not so much. You don't have to optimize everything, but you sure as heck can't suck at everything either... you have to have a balance. yes but there are WAY too many variabuls to say that any one choice cascades into the others... I'm playing this game for fun I would never put that much pressure on it...</blockquote>
