Ok, this will weird people out:

Hardest thing to RP, that looked like it would be easy is low charisma.

It's freakin' hard to be blunt and rude reliably, when you are incredibly polite habitually in RL :)

Moreover, most of them have had experience with both - the pushy Goretharites and the crazed Malekites. Everyone knows paladins are control freaks, and after all the boards stuff (and experience with them), I don't know why you'd really trust them.
That's because they are BOTH extremists and most of the general population just want an easy life, not too many rules, so they do not infringe on your daily life, but rules enough to keep the Crazy people at bay..........

I've only seen it done well a half dozen times.

I wasn't just speaking of Avlis...

Fighters do it face to face, Rogues may do it from behind, Rangers can do it from a distance, Wizards do it from out of nowhere, Clerics may not do it at all, Barbarians may do it in a rage, Sorcerers can do it on a whim, Bards on a note, but Paladins have to pay for it!

When I think about it I always come to the conclusion all the rhymes I could make would be really childish...
heh, my first character was a bard, and english is not my native language either. I have two dictionaries close at hand every time, and keep seaching for better words! At first it can be tough, but afterwards you usually get used to it.. As for rhymes! I can't rhyme in my native language, to rhyme in english would end up so incoherent that I could possibly rp only a dead drunk bard! So, there are other kinds of artists, not only singers and lyricists! I was playing an author for example, gives you much more time to think about what you want to write about! :wink:
