That would be me as well. Though there's some sellfishness there too. I don't care what the cleric says, I want to be able to patch myself up from time to time. And it never hurts to be able to save the cleric when he goes down, or sneak up on the 'other' bad guy while the rogue is taking out the main guy.

OH. QUESTIONS FOR THE STAFFERS.

What class would you play in a typical fantasy RPG? (Mage, Fighter, Paladin, Assassin, Thief (yes, there's a difference), Archer, Alchemist, Bard, etc.)

I pick different stuff each time, but I like the ranger most. I'm most often a support character of sorts when I play, usually taking on back-up healing or tank roles. I'm liking bards more for that too. Numbers wise though, I think I've played more mages than other stuff across all rpg games. I mostly have DnD characters that are rangers.

What element would you be? (Fire/Lightning, Water/Ice, Nature/Stone, Air/Poison, etc.)

Water. I seem to lean that way. Pisces sign, and Water Pig in Chinese zodiac, love pools, (well, more fond of open water than pools unless there's a nearby shower).

What weapon would you wield? (Doesn't necessarily have to fit in with the first question, so a mage could perfectly well use a dagger. I would if I were a mage >.>)

A sword! I like swords, and I think it would be cool to use one though it would probably be a shorter sword over a long one. I already know how to use a bow and most firearms. ;). If I were a real-life DnD character I'd probably call myself a bard/ranger, early levels of both. (Being realistic and all ;).)
