[QUOTE="Silverblade The Ench, post: 4781831, member: 19083"] Caliber much as I'm wanting Dark Sun and psionics ot be out soon ;) "Gladiator" is a [I]profession[/I], not a class, IMHO, same with "templars" doesn't matter [I]how [/I]they do it, the gladiator is a person who fights in an arena, you can be a wizard and be a gladiator! So a "gladiator" could be any type of combatant you chose, most likely a fighter or ranger, with feats/powers suitable for up close drity fighting against lighty armoured foes. A "trained" gladiator slave, you can imagine, would have high strength, very high Consitution (which is actually crucial) and good dexterity, due to selection and training. Those who don't cut the mustard become halfling stew! :p And Dark Sun templars are a wide variety of bureacrats, demagogues, psionicists, politicians, spy masters, thugs, or professional and possibly fanatic military leaders, and some really do believe their sorceror king is a god (or god like being) and those last group are the ones who happily use spells ot paralyze infidels, or folk bad mouthing the SKs in public, to make a nice show of of the power the sorceror king, and they, have. After that they either sell the law breakers as slaves or have 'em killed in really interesting ways in the area, over several hours if necessary... :devil: So a templar could be anything you can think of, with maybe little combat skills but hell of a high social skills and elite bodyguards to do the dirty work. :) [/QUOTE]
