[QUOTE="Pbartender, post: 5802907, member: 7533"] Oh, boy... You should watch more classic Westerns (note that quite a few of them are remakes of Kurosawa's samurai films). The showdown at high-noon? Pistols from 20 paces at dawn? A sharpshooter can show just as much honor and respect to his enemies as any sword fighter can. Take a closer look at some of the Advanced Classes, and you'll see it. the Martial Artist and the Soldier are both designed to accommodate the sort of melee action you want. Yes, you should. The characters are built upon a different power curve than standard 3E D&D is. However, I can tell you I once ran a RIFTS-like post-apocalyptic game using D20 Modern, and slightly published D&D adventures. It worked just fine, and everybody had a lot of fun. Like you said, if you've got a half decent DM and you don't dwell on the preconceptions, you'll have fun... Try something outside what you would usually play and stretch your RPing muscles. Otherwise, a character like what you're used to playing can be made to order. In fact the Iconic Strong Hero "Russel Whitfield" (The guy with the dreadlocks and the sword on the front cover of the rulebook) is just the sort of character you're look for. [/QUOTE]
