'Grats to Xalthar
« Reply #15 on: March 08, 2004, 05:52:57 am »
I noticed that Xalthar was the first person to make a logical point about this; people can do whatever they want. It\'s all about Roleplaying.

My friends and I play D&D, and we allow players to stray from the \'norm\' as it were, if they can adequately RP it. You have the story and the talent to use an abnormal character, so be it.

As for penalties, what can I say other than. \'you take the good with the bad\'?

um sorry to dissapoint you arch but diaboli are not currently selectable characters. thier character models are hopefully going to be released in Crystal Blue. If you ask when cb will be released, you will be shot on sight.

You can\'t combine races in PS, well at least not yet.

Hello everyone, this would be my first post here, after about a month of browsing the forums I feel it\'s time to throw in my two cents.  Class mixing can be okay when done in moderation.  The trend these days seems to lean towards playing a charactor with conflicting moral and social classes ie. a Paladin aligned any other way but absolute good (least that was the way we played).  During rare occasions though, allowing a player to assume the role of a  multi-class can add to the play.  The DM though would usually apply a penalty to the charactor to offset. I myself along with the DM created a cursed Rogue, without the knowledge of the rest of the party.  Basically the curse affected everyone else in the party but the Rogue, hilarity ensued, until they figured it out.  Sorry got a little off topic there,  I guess it boils down to,  class mixing should be a rare thing, and well thought out. just my two cents.
knowledge is power, but wisdom is a big stick with a bit of poo on the end.

The point I was trying to make was that Diaboli, make the best healers, despite their race being in contradicition to the generalised image of do good healers.

But I do infact think this is a good thing, games too often follow the Tolkien made stereotypes. Who says elves have to be noble and proud? Who says Humans always have to be the jack-of-all-trades race? Who says orcs have to be big, dumb, mega-agressive warriors? Why are agility and power always mutualy exclusive?

I dont think Planeshift is going to be the game to break all these deep roated stereotypes that RPGs seem to have adopted as the norm (In planeshift humans are the jack of all trades, and the kran are basically glorified orcs).

However planeshift does have many original elements and does seem to be bending (not yet breaking) the \'rules\' of rpgs.

Hmm break the stereotypes too much, and you won\'t attract the die-hard RPers. Besides, these stereotypes have been proven to work.

Elf-Diaboli
« Reply #28 on: March 14, 2004, 02:39:14 pm »
actually this is what is written in the list of races:
 Ynnwn
Physical Traits
The Ynnwn race is a strange but relatively frequent crossing between a Diabolo and an Elf.

About Diaboli Healers:

Yes I suppose they\'d be good at healing but would have no care to heal. Just like if you\'re good at moving silently and putting knives in people\'s back, doesn\'t mean you\'re going to do it, because it\'s against your morals.

Of course, an alternative is to make each spell a skill which you need to practice so as to be good at.
