dcss:brainstorm:background:fighter [2011-01-17 10:47] Straydusk Cleaned up and updated article in light of current trunk, terminology and discussion. Also made own POV more neutral and less expository for a more balanced discussion, and linked to a new and relevant Mantis thread. |

| > I think we should keep Fighters but disallow them for the races that can't wear scale mail (Dr, Sp, Tr, Og). And get rid of the claws option for ghouls, it's too similar to Mo. Maybe Gladiators should be allowed to start with a falchion, since there will probably be no more Paladins. If you want to further differentiate Fi and Gl, maybe get rid of the shield. The distinction could be Fi=scale mail+shield, Gl=good weapon+helmet. Maybe even upgrade mace to ankus for all races of Gl not just ogres. --- //[[user:xyblor]] 2010-06-30 19:56// | > I think we should keep Fighters but disallow them for the races that can't wear scale mail (Dr, Sp, Tr, Og).

| - | >> I really like the idea [[component]]. As I said on that page, it completely removes the issue because suddenly players would be simply unable to select both heavy armour and Ogre components. Rather than coming up with a version of each class for every race, place some basic restrictions which make sense and let players build anything.

| >If Gl becomes the background whose major asset is that it starts with a heavy weapon (e.g. sabre, falchion, trident, ankus, or war axe), then it would make sense to take away those weapons from all the other backgrounds. As far as I know, this includes the trident for some Mf backgrounds and ankus for some Og backgrounds. Otherwise Gl won't have much appeal to those races. It would be nice if Mf had to decide between a trident and the book of war chants, because right now MfCr is a no-brainer compared to MfGl. --- //[[user:xyblor]] 2010-07-31 22:54// | >If Gl becomes the background whose major asset is that it starts with a heavy weapon (e.g. sabre, falchion, trident, ankus, or war axe), then it would make sense to take away those weapons from all the other backgrounds.
