[QUOTE="Vyvyan Basterd, post: 5740189, member: 4892"] Yes. I'm not against expanding the game in any of the directions you've presented. But I enjoy finding ways to use the tools I have at hand to accomplish what I want until a viable alternative is presented. I thnk you're assigning a tone to my posts that I don't intend to convey. My intention was to clarify, not to go "Ah ha!" I thought the re-skinned barbarian portion of the idea was relevant to our discussion at the time. There's alot more to the character's concept than "City-Born Noble Barbarian" that I have not discussed in this thread, that was just the part relevant to my position. If the mechanical weight is important to you then there are ways to achieve it. For example, I chose Intimidate as the character's primary method of dealing with his fellow nobles. I spent the skill points necessary to overcome the illiteracy of the class. Etc. My point is that I'm not going to let an idea I have for a character sit idle because no one has published a viable city-dwelling noble-born dragon-blooded class. Without DM permission? No. If that's important to you, then why suggest such a character? Maybe because you were being snarky? What skill would represent this knowledge to you? Has every single city-dwelling character of yours had this skill? In our games a character will be familiar with the community he grew up in, no check needed. Ranks or training in a skill would apply to more general knowledge of cities. Like I said, I'm trying to clarify my points and am discussing honestly. I think you're reading my intentions incorrectly, I'm trying to understand your side with as much diffulty you seem to have with mine. [/QUOTE]
