Just seems I never get around to rolling something that goes a particular way. Some people go the mage route, some people stick with warriors, it's all natural I assume. > Examples: I wouldn't recommend playing an arb unless you don't mind people complaining to you. If you choose to try one, accept that there won't be much love coming your way (unless it's "tough" love). > 2) I've never had a rager, and not going to have one, just because their rp seems really While many, if not all, of the ragers tend to roleplay "savages" or "idiots", not all do. It may be that it seems the way to go, I don't know. I run into ragers that either yell "Bring da War" at me or tell me something like "bite me". Heh.
