[QUOTE="takyris, post: 1182972, member: 5171"] [b]Halfling Rogue/Paladin[/b] Considers himself a Scout when possible, an Archer when available, but a close-up combatant when necessary. Would have no trouble sneaking into an overlord's fortress and taking guards b y surprise as he went -- provided that said fortress knew that it was doing evil and that people were looking to stop it. In such a case, the fortress is not a helpless victim being attacked by surprise, but a willing tactical adversary playing a game of chess. And surprise and stealth attacks are simply good tactics in a game like that. On the other hand, he strictly considers himself a scout. He is good with using his abilities against a foe that must be met with good tactics and sound strategy, but he is [b]not[/b] an assassin. He will not sneak into the castle and kill the warlord unless said warlord has a device that will instantly cause the destruction of hundreds of innocents. He [b]will[/b] take the guards, who are, by their nature, supposed to be alert and ready for attack, by surprise, but he will challenge the warlord to a duel rather than assassinating him. Has no problem using sneak-attacks due to flanking or stunning, unless he is in an honorable duel, in which case he would forego them. [/QUOTE]
