#25207, "RE: It is not because goodies suck"


          

I just wanted to talk about this particular point, because no one else had yet:

>Also, more goodies are more often
>backed up by healiers and have sanc (healers/paladins).

As someone who doesn't really play good characters, I can see how you would think this. Here's what you're missing:

1) Most paladins can't sanc people other than themselves, and even those that can need to do so in a way that, while really good in some ways, carries some extra complications/difficulties too.

2) Fortress (narrowing to that because a good Trib or Outlander or Herald will have a pretty different enemies list and set of obligations) sees roughly one competent PC healer per real life calendar year.

The reasons for that are many, and that's even further off topic to delve into them, so there I'm going to just ask you to take my word for that for now. Just factor in that even a player who is decent with, say, a warrior may be a terrible healer.

You might think, how competent do you need to be? I just need you to sanc me when I tell you to and that's plenty. You'd be amazed.

I've seen terrible healers of every cabal and alignment, but good always draws most of them.
