107147, Seems I never got out of goodie mode.

Sorta odd to delete after I just finished regearing and had like the best damroll I've ever had (that's 42). The character just was too inconsistent and RP-less and I fully realized it today.

Anyway, Korrix was initially meant to just go places, attack everyone, get killed by everyone and learn in the process.

Here are my issues:

1) I almost never used preps. Okay I used detect invis and sometimes protection and enlarge. Using preps is too frustrating because I tend to waste them a lot - either I use them too early or the enemy walks away with no fight, or I am attacked before I use them. I also mostly tried to run from losing fights on foot (my home was in Seantryn), heal and come back. Didn't ever work out well.

2) I have trouble being aggressive. Really. Don't laugh at me. I just dislike killing random folks for no reason. Tribunal (and by extension it's applicants) has very few valid targets. Also, could not attack criminals in town as an applicant. I figured if I attacked imperials or non-wanted marans I would look bad (to snooping imms) and stand even less chance of ever being accepted into Tribunal.

3) I'm often too busy being a slowpoke to PK successfully. Enemies walk off before I get to them, or they attack first and I am at a disadvantage. I died a lot by pincering where I knew I had to run, thinking I had some chance. Only time I totally ran away like a little girl was that time with Clahier. My chances were zero, and she wasn't a real cabal enemy anyway.

4) I'm too nice and polite. I can't talk like a jerk to save my life. This comes off as really really bad RP with an evil. No I wasn't just "suave", I was like "really really nice". Like, "You know, we are supposed to be enemies so I will try to kill you. No hard feelings, please understand and I hope you enjoy the fight". Okay maybe I'm exaggerating.
107159, I know the feeling :P

I don't like being a jackass to people even if RP demands it, which keeps me from playing some really cool ideas.

It was nice RPing with this PC and the guy behind the screen seems top-notch. Good luck with your next.

For what its worth...I HATE bothering with preps myself, always have. I tend to shy away from warriors because of that. I even hate having to bother with recall potions.
107162, Thanks, it means a lot to me

I still think it was time to move on because that's what I do when I stop enjoying my character's RP. But I'm glad to hear others liked it.

P.S. My third hero(-ish) warrior and fourth tribby attempt. Got inducted twice with goodies, failed twice with evils. I'll try again sometime, but with a character that is meant for Tribunal right from when I roll him.
