[QUOTE="el-remmen, post: 3473349, member: 11"] Yo Rog! Nice to see you see you back, and I am glad you are enjoying it. Below are some comments on your thoughts on individual characters: I think he is the [I]potential[/I] battle leader, but he definitely is not there yet - both in terms of the story hour and how far we have gotten in the campaign ahead of that has been posted. But I do agree that he is most likely to get along with everyone equally well. As a DM this is my favorite kind of character just because of what you describe. Of course, if everyone tried to play a similar character I would hate it - but it is nice to have some to feed adveristy and plot-hooks to who will eat it up eagerly. :) I can see what you are getting at here, but I think it might be a little over-stated. I don't think Laarus quite is what Bleys wants to be, but he represents the potential for those leadership skills that Bleys is capable of and that should be expected from a priest of Ra. I think any distance that Laarus falls short of the ideal is only a matter of his still growing into his role as a priest of Ra, which is perfect for a young priest. I think it is exactly as you say, a matter of confidence. Bleys does not have over-reaching confidence, I think he is just has not figured out how to fully apply his education to reality because of the gulf between theoritical knowledge of how things work and how they really work - but he is learning quickly. As for Laarus being reminscent of Beorth: I can see it. Don't really have much to say on this one. Not sure what you mean by "the character of female soldiers" - and I am curious what you feel the cliche of the female warrior is. Ah, the most problematic of the PCs because of his argumentativeness and adolescent immaturity - but at the same time the conflict with noble identity is something I find very interesting and that can lead the campaign to some interesting directions. As for the comparison to Kazrack: Yep, I think that is fairly obvious. I guess no matter how different our characters are, some aspect of our actual personality always comes through in time. I took you statement: "[I]Kazrack was defiant because of principles, Markos is defiant out of principle[/I]" to mean that Kazrack argued as a result of his dwarven/priestly principles, but Markos is that way because arguing/dissenting is in itself one of his principles. Is that what you meant? Anyway, glad you are following along. . . More to come at some point later this week. [/QUOTE]
