<p>First on my list is a Master of diguise. A rogue concept that focuses more on skill use to resolve problems. My favorite concept because of how unorthodox it is in regards to gaming. A useless character in combat though. The design has little to no combat capability and is better suited to sabotage and stealth based missions. This character also suffers a hit to HP. I have built it with a high escape capability and ease of getting around. The hope was to take it to Master Spy prestige class. The GM pointed out that combat will happen a bit and how I would want to run this character would put me into several solo missions and I get the impression that combat seems to be the only way we get to resolve stuff in this campaign so the build won't work here. Would've loved to give it a try though. </p>
<p>Another build is a bard archer that would eventually become an arcane archer. This character is female and a nobleman as well. She would be good support and would have a lot of role play possibility. The thing is I am usually hesitant to run females in MMO style games. Had an incident a few years back that has kind of made the whole thing more than a bit uncomfortable. Still pondering weather or not to give it another try though. </p>
<p>Another build/s are a variety of sorcerers. I don't like witches, wizards, or summoners and the party seems to be lacking a arcane caster. Though the concept of a sorcerer is something new to me and kind of neat, I am still not totally fond of magic users in general and feel they take a lot away from the game. I much prefer mundane games as opposed to magic based games. More challenging and more immersive. But that is just me. </p>
<p>I have a gunslinger build I REALLY wanted to use somewhere but have yet to find a GM who would allow it. Sadness but it cannot be helped. Since gunslingers are REALLY good at making their own weapons, gun rarity would not be an issue but in the end it comes down to flavor. Our GM has decided not to allow them and therefore I need to shelf the idea.</p>
<p>Then we have other builds, </p>
<p>I have a few fighters mostly but we already have one of those so it doesn't make sense to double up. Plus that's my usual fall back and I get tired of running the same way all the time.</p>
<p>I have more than a few monk characters but they are mostly repeating Kenji and that is just a bit tasteless.</p>
<p>Then there are Cavaliers.......yeah not gonna happen. No good use for them in a city where we have to hide all the time and crawl through sewers</p>
<p>Looked into the use of other Divine classes but again that goes back to my dislike of using too much magic in a game. Not to mention I suck and making magic based characters so really, any form of spellcaster is not high on my list of desired build. </p>
<p>So this is my dilemma. I am interested in hearing any advice you may have.</p>The following where ideas I had

<p>Well it was fun. I make a personal rule never to introduce new characters into a game in progress so I will accept my death and look for a new campaign. Too bad it had to end this way.

Our skirmish showed they have skill, enough to where if we weren't prepared den we would fall easier. Especially back then. Then instead of few coin, they have all our processions. Instead they made fair trade. Coin for guidance and they came through with no back stabbing of any kind. Second bit of evidence. With family ties that Duncan assumes would set him free of knights, Why hide at all. Home seems safest place in that case, unless it truly was someting the knights would not forgive, like treason. Nothing less than what we were doing. In my homeland rich criminal hide behind family titles, not in filthy monster ridden sewers. Rebels like us are easy to blame for crimes, give knights better reason to hunt us and make scapegoats for the government to blame peoples problems on. I have seen dis city and I wholehearted believe it is corrupt. So what makes sewer hiders badguys when real badguys can easily hide in open? Now, dis is all theory.

<p>In Kenji's mind, people don't normally want to be hurt so he is just a bit confused. But at the same time, he believes the boy knows this and in resisting he is saying "Yes I want to be tortured" and who is Kenji to judge what people really want? </p>
<p>So, if this kid won't wise up, Kenji will assume the boys answer is the hard way and stop defending him. I will let you know when that happens but I also don't expect the others to be patient forever, I will be done soon.</p>Phew Kenji is trying sooo hard.

<p>As far as Kenji's backstory goes, Hold on to your hooves! I am about to be brilliant! It'd be a first but I have quite the backstory concept I'm going to try and toss together. I will try and keep up with the posting, as I had mentioned, I have fallen behind an area I wish I had more of a role in and am not sure how to interject now. But Kenji will now have closer connection to this bandit than before. </p>
<p>I will work on the backstory adjustments and try to keep up. They are some pretty significant adjustments and my changes how I continue to play. Plus I hope there will be something the GM can work with there too.</p>Thanks Andrea. Spoilers will be a fine compromise. I appreciate your understanding.

I really wish I had spent time to further develop him than I did.</p>
<p>I am also sorry if I came off as a jerk to Andrea's posts and character. Her character behavior hits too close to home and it has brought up a lot of painful memories. I will try harder to ignore it.</p>I have been horribly disappointed by Kenji's lack of story and character depth. I really wish I had spent time to further develop him than I did.

<p>@Baldwin should I be doing what Andrea is doing? Righting out a self narrative and taking control of NPCs to tell my own story? I could if you want that from us.</p>Whats with the really long and disturbingly sexual posts Andrea? You just bored or is there actually a point to this?.
