Message: <blockquote data-quote="SurgicalSteel" data-source="post: 412019" data-attributes="member: 5611">The basic argument you make is extremely weak. If the mage could wear armor, had tons of hit points, and had good attack rolls, I doubt he would hesitate to engage in melee.You attribute to selfishness and cowardice what is actually caused by extremely rigid class penalties.Mages on the front line are suicide, and people would scream were it otherwise.A mage is already doing his part with fireballs, and when one considers that mages are specifically targeted because they can fireball, your already weak argument becomes weaker still.This is speculation on the part of the originator of the thread, so far as I can tell.If the player actually said this, then that is a different story, obviously.Frankly, I don't really care for the tone of much of this thread, which rather than be objective, understanding, or thoughful, simply reeks of "the three of us" bullying "the one of him".Given the dominant tendency of posters to favor themselves in their depictions or narratives, I think objective appraisal of both positions would be the best tack to take in dealing with what is clearly such a personal issue.Which is something I have seen little of here.</blockquote>
