[QUOTE="Kannik, post: 9227701, member: 984"] This reminds me of the best description I read on the character roles: A striker is there to deal damage. A defender is there to take damage and hold attention. A leader is there to relieve damage and help others. A controller [I]is there to make the DM pull their hair out.[/I] "Alright, I have this great plan..." (Controller takes their turn) "Well, that doesn't work now." "Excellent, next turn this monster will lay the smack down on..." (Controller takes their turn) "Uh, ok, nope..." "Oh yes, you've all fallen into my traps you little pretties... (Controller takes their turn) [Sound of paper being torn up] Though, that could happen with leaders too! "Alright, you are hit and the enemy does..." (Leader goes "Nope!") "Excuse me, what?" (Leader describes their power nullifying the whole thing...) And as a DM I [I]LOVED IT[/I]. (Also liked it as a player, to be sure, but seeing clever players with clever plans and clever powers messing up my own clever plans and clever powers always made me laugh.) [/QUOTE]
