Ever heard of a game called NWN? It\'s a DnD based computer game which also has multiplayer capabilities.
Here\'s the problem that Drizzt caused: People read the books, and thought Drizzt was really cool (I did too). Some people decided to play online as Drizzt, the good Dark elf. But when other people saw them, they flamed them. So then they decided to play good dark elves.
Long story short, it all ended up with Dark Elves (which are feared in Faerun) becomming socially acceptable. It was rarer to find an evil dark elf than a good dark elf. In fact, people were actually defending the rights of dark elves to be treated like everyone else.
What I\'m trying to say is: If too many people play characters which stray from the norm, you end up creating a new norm, which sometimes doesn\'t make sense. It had arrived to a point where everyone on NWN was straying from the norm and this resulted in A LOT of half-dragon half-drow half-demon half-vampire people running around. All with disturbed pasts and super powers, of course.
Let\'s not try to let that happen here. Diaboli players, please try to let your character be malicious. Don\'t try to play good Diaboli....Please.
Now...As for Diaboli\'s extra charm. Just because their extra charm makes them good at healing, doesn\'t mean they *will* heal. And just because they\'d make good spellcasters, doesn\'t mean they\'re all spellcasters. Some of them would make excellent rogues (using extra charisma to distract people while they pick their pockets).
And since this thread is about Diaboli, I\'d like to raise a question: Do you think Diaboli are overpowered? (Good physique, high charisma, etc?)
