> That's true. Most people "do" think "ooc" wise about their char before playing it. So often times they take into consideration the cabal powers and how it will possibly add on what their class already has.
> Coming back to Sylvan, you really can't blame people for making dwarf shamans and them wanting to join Sylvan. The Sylvan cabal power compliments dwarf shaman's natural ability -perfectly-. Look at Pikel (dwarf shaman). I'm sure he didn't just randomly drummed up some character and decided to join Sylvan. (well I won't comment that he drew the char from an actual book, but his RP has actually been quite good so I'll leave him alone =)
> I was hoping the co-leader of a cabal wouldn't say what you just said over a log. That you're "disenchanted" with so many dwarf applicants. Despite their numbers, you should try to view them one at a time. Since by your reasoning, anybody who drums up an elf healer has a 'higher' chance of being inducted than a dwarf shaman just for the very fact that he is 'different'.
> Then are you not again, applying your own prejudice against the very people you are trying to induct? Thinking ooc about the cabal powers rather than their RP?
Do me a favor. Don't assume you know what I am thinking or how I plan
And yes, I am concerned with the lack of healers/druids/rangers and muters,
to look at applicants. As before, and by definition, a shaman/warrior is going
to have a more rigourous path than a healer. Why? Who can more effectively
protect the wilds?
but this does NOT mean all they have to say to me is that they love nature
and that gets them a free ticket into the grove. They are going to have
to convey to me what they believe? Why they believe it and if possible.. how
if effects them or their outlook.
