[QUOTE="Elephant, post: 2096681, member: 17431"] IRT discussion on my "pwned" comment: I see it a lot in one of the IRC channels I idle in. It doesn't seem like an obscure reference - and certainly not a "coded insult" - to me at all. For the record, I've never seen voila spelled as "walla" as a joke; I've only seen it done by people who don't understand the word. If the case here is otherwise, I apologize. Also, Thorncrest, you would benefit from being a little more patient. These boards are generally not vicious at all, if you don't incite it. I wasn't trying to "AoO" you or anything like that, I was merely commenting on something that stood out looking odd (not to mention dead wrong). As for your Vampire Lord, it seems to me that a fallen Paladin/Blackguard could be particularly vicious. Other than that, Bard, Cleric, Rogue, and Sorcerer also seem like they'd fit well with a successful politician archetype. The spellcasting of the bard or sorcerer would logically help a political career (think of spells like Charm Person, Tongues, Eagle's Splendor, Calm Emotions, Glibness, and Enthrall). The cleric's (or Paladin's) public piety would resonate strongly with the populace, and some of the "money spells" are also available to them. The Rogue has all the right skills - Bluff, Diplomacy, Intimidate, Sense Motive. The only missing Diplomacy-related skill is Knowledge: Nobility and Royalty. Adding Assassin levels to the mix could also be good - they also have the important diplomatic skills (not to mention the way their political rivals have a knack for turning up dead...). [/QUOTE]
