#1383, "Something to keep in mind"


          

That one man juggernaut who can mow through people at hero is preset to be evil. The two classes that are set up to create a one man powerhouse are both auto-evil, lich and antipaladin.

When you think of the unstoppable, totally feared, range-owning heros of the past five years, who do you think of? Almost exclusively (almost, I know, not entirely, but easily 90% or more) they are necromancers or antipaladins. Sure, some of them had perma or semiperma friends helping them out, and cabal aid, etc. But no other classes are set up to give super special killing ability like these two.

You could argue that the advent of legacies has made warriors somewhat more like this, but legacies are imm given. A lich and an antipaladin have the tools there. Assuming the lich liches, of course. But even the opportunity to lich, to become something rather more powerful than everyone else, is given only to an evil-only class.

It is much harder to think of any range overlordship being held by a goodie. Challen maybe, some might argue kantherion, but really not the way you thought of Istendil, or Palan, or Zorzsaul or Tikar or the rest.
