Is Solarion the new Rouge?

[Bloodrealm]

Just think about it.

[Addams Family DM]

I'd say it's closer to the original 3.0 paladin than a rogue.

[Space McMan]

No.

But great post.

[Tarik Blackhands]

Most people would have a hard time applying Solarians to their cheeks or lips so I'm going to say no. Rouge still has its niche over mystical space druid paladins.

[Cathulhu]

Ha

[Deadmanwalking]

Solarian isn't a cosmetic that I'm aware of.

As for being the 'new Rogue', certainly not conceptually. Mechanically in the sense of being underpowered? Definitely not.

Solarian has weaknesses as a Class...but it's the higest DPR class in the game and has more utility than Soldier by a fair bit. I'd say it's doing fine comparatively.

Its more like a magus without spellcasting/mixed with the fighter

[Xenocrat]

I also haven't noticed people misspelling Solarion very often.

The sincerely hope this was on purpose.

[RealAlchemy]

Solarions wear many colors. Their energy motes also have many colors.

Oh, is that what's being discussed?

In that case, yes, it absolutely is.

High DPS class with higher versatility and high durability?

That doesn't sound like a Rogue.

Again, a magus/fighter but without spellcasting

Actually, having had it pointed out, I'm pretty sure he was talking about the misspellings. And he has a point.

Solarion is such an ubiquitous misspelling I actually didn't even catch it in the thread title. And I never misspell Solarian.

[MagicA]

so is this becoming a discussion regarding typo's or people's misspelling?

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to actually say it! Turns out it was about an hour and a half.

Bloodrealm you brilliant bastard
I tip my solar blade to you sir

[Wei Ji the Learner]

...Solarian.... Golarion.... Let's just call the whole thing off...

Possibly relevant to Topic Header?

I'm pretty sure Xenocrat caught it first, to give credit where credit is due.

I suppose I did say it first, though.

I feel so much could have been avoided if they were called Stellarian. The "So" at the beginning really trips up the end of the word.

[Brew Bird]

This may be the most clever joke I've ever seen on these message boards. Bravo.

[Bloodrealm]

Sure, it was a joke, but I also kind of wanted to see if it was true. And I think it might be.

It is.

The fact that the misspelling is of a made-up word and does not result in a rather ridiculous real word makes it less annoying, but it's at least as common. Notably more so in my experience.

rouges are overpowdered.
