Dear GOD, do I HATE support characters!!!

I rolled Rothow as a fluke. He was a number of firsts for me:

1) First empowerment character that actually got empowered
2) First healer
3) Character I least enjoyed for his entire lifespan.

Rothow was sphere Gluttony. He ate alot. Real deep.

I didn't figure I had a chance in hell of getting empowered, and actually made it. Ok, what now... *ponder* I know, eat tons of different food! Hit just about every shop in Thera at one point or another, and ate everything I could stand. Found a fondness for sweet rolls, and started giving them to people as awards.

Then, At Arvam's urging (empowerment interview part deux) I was going to join Herald. I'd get to make odd food. Sounded like a plan. Oops, Herald's being led by a drow. Oh well, what's the fortress up to. Joined up there for something to do after blowing a week doing almost nothing. Tried to make his life interesting, didn't work. Deleted.

I killed Rothow a lot. Mainly to find ways that a healer dies. I've discovered 2 ways.

1) Not carrying teleport potions
2) Being caught unprepared.
3) Get caught in a no-exit/no-sanctifiable/no magic room

Took alot of the challenge away, knowing that the only way to die was to be caught unprepared. I'm pretty sure my PK ratio was 0%.


Goodbyes:

Arvam: You were there and the empowerment interview was fun. Then, you vanished. Ranked to 40something and never saw hide nor hair of you regardless of numerous trips to your shrine to drop off hordes of your favorite food. Got hit with questions daily about where you were, had no good answer, and started not to care. I hope you're around more now. When you're around, you're fun to be around. When you aren't... It was a torch I didn't feel like toting anymore.

Sylvrin: Knew you since WAY back. I still remember escorting you from your hometown to the Inn. Was one of the few times Rothow felt mildly useful.

Jhanderin: Getting into the Fortress was more of a pain in the ass than getting empowered. At least I've bothered to find all the cabals now. I usually play uncaballed characters, so that actually took a bit. Other than that... *shrug*

Coronado: You're a beast, keep it up.

Voronado: See Coronado. Just show up more. I seldom saw you after our talk to get into the fortress.

Pupmancur: You were fun to run around with.

Rest of ya: Post something, and I'll reply. There were tons of people Rothow interacted with, and I hope everyone else enjoyed him.

I won't play an empowerment character again. Made it all these years, and the only one I've done was less fun than any other character I've done. *shrug*
