The gender morphing takes a month. It's probably not going to come into play during this game. It's also entirely at will, so it won't happen unless people vote to do it.

TBH I am not looking forward to debates about whether we should change sex/etc. I am also not looking forward to convicning Du to become a girl when we meet them as a NPC (if we do) so that actually doesn't enter my 'should I vote for them' choice, as both options are not ones I am fond of.

Just to let you know though, playing too conservative in this game, we outright will miss all the best loot. And from missing the best loot it will leave us behind on getting the next best set of loot... and so on and so on.

It's going to be a race.

Well, thank you for your unbiased innate knowledge on how the game will work.

Huh. Thinking about it, Yatsurugi (tank/bruiser), Shadow (blaster/debuff), Murdan (summoner/blaster), Du(tank/equipment-based buffs), and Linnea (heals and other druidic magics) could be a pretty solid team (assuming that Du can buff other people's gear, too).

That fed into the final spread choice for me, the characters presented for your choice cover most of the normal party roles.

Probably going to lock up in two hours.

Wow. A lot of 11th-hour support there.

Back to my first love, I guess.

[x] Shadow

Come on - only one behind the front-runner. Someone else join us?

Background, I mostly like Shadow, though I would have changed things a bit, given that the 'penalty' is tailor-made for dungeon delving.

It was pretty much intended as a fluff "why are you doing this" justification and significant impact on characterization than anything that fed into game balance. It also left the door open to further quests from her patron if it changed its mind later, which could get all sorts of interesting.

Also, given that Shadow is back in the running, any chance I could convince you to switch over? Right now, it's 7 Yatsurugi / 6+1 Du / 6 Shadow.

Since this is now mostly about what character I'd like to pilot skilltree-wise and not which I'd like to exist at all, this decision becomes much simpler.

In a less gamist universe, I'd be all over probability
manipulation as a power, but when you're throwing dice and dealing critical hits, It kind of takes some fun out of finding neat ways to profit from unlikely things happening.

Du is in the uncomfortable valley between warrior and artificer that produces Sword Magic, which I dislike.

We just recently did big tough smashes-through-obstacles warrior, and fight scenes are always more rewarding than mechanical contemplation with those types anyway.

I like summoners, but that's mostly for the interaction between summoner and summon and not for any reason intrinsic to the skillset. yrsillar has done those sorts of relationship quite a few times, and the spectre of character bloat still looms on the horizon.

I love kill-rewarding, life draining, debuffing, and otherwise creepy-ass skillsets. I want to see the skill tree. I want to hug the skill tree.

Also a significant part of this decision: Shadow has a backstory that we won't know OOC, a starfriend who we can't hear as another character, very good reasons to not tell people about the previous two things, and enemies who will otherwise likely be dealt with offscreen. We won't get the full experience as an observer.

Hmm..

Thinking about the value of the wish for whoever completes the tower, Shadow definitely has the setup for the most significant and personally valuable needs. I could see the quest for that being worthwhile.

Sure.

My concern with shadow is that she is quite beholden to the evil in her mind. I am worried about potential social interactions, as well as perhaps it getting a hold on the wish. There are some other similar concerns but basically it all boils down to "I love the powerset, but dear god NOPE! NOPE! NOPE!"

Sometimes all you really need is a sufficiently large club and some idea of where to swing it.
 
So, huh- yrsillar's reasoning for 'no wizards' was because apparently he was doing a lot of wizards recently (which confuses me, as I never saw a wizard made by Yrsillar before).... but now everyone is saying that the last few chars by Yrs were bruisers? When did the wizard happen then?

The last two 'dungeon crawler' quests of his were a lightning-monk and ice wizard.

Alright. Last call folks. One hour remaining to vote, so post now or forever hold your peace.
 
Disappointed that there is no love for summoners :/

Make him a kickass NPC/party member yrsillar I'm counting on you!
 
-_- Tied between Yuuka and Shadow. Hrm.

I suppose next changed or fresh vote for one of them decides it.
