It most likely will get flak from the die hards... but... change makes for improvement... me and my attempts at being philosophical...

I think I might do most of the groundwork on the Counterpart characters... this could make it look better or get it implemented by Paul ... COUGH/BULLCOUGHSHIT...

What do you think so Far?

Counterpart Classes:

Mercenary: (Counterpart of the Fighter)
The Mercenary combines his balanced skill and determination to take out opponents quicker than his rival... the Fighter... in more ways than
one, the Mercenary will always find fault to the skill of the Fighter, like the Brawler, they think of them as weak and on many occasions prove
this in battle, whether or not side by side in a sturdy group, or out on their own. The Mercenary would rather die than live if any Fighter gets
the better of him in battle.

Weapons: Sword, Axe, Staff, Longsword, Spear, Polearm
Armor: Scale, Chain, Plate Mail
Charms: All Types
Stats: Strength 55 ... Dexterity 40 ... Intellegence 10 ... Vitality 45

Brawler (Counterpart of the Barbarian)
The Brawler, like the Barbarian excels in the front lines of combat, using brawn over brains. The brawler thinks the barbarian is weak... but a
sturdy opponent, for this the brawler loves to confront any situation when there is a barbarian around... on more than one occasion you can
see these two go at it with each other, and they are normally equally matched, the brawler will always think he is the best and strives to prove
it... no matter what.

Weapons: Dagger, Club, Axe, Warhammer, Battleaxe, Polearm
Armor: Chain, Plate Mail
Charms: All Types
Stats: Strength 65 ... Dexterity 25 ... Intellegence 5 ... Vitality 55

Very well written, Rex. You are putting a lot of serious time into this, and it shows. I dig it so far, two thumbs up!

if i knew what he was talking about i would understand lol

Thanks...



I am thinking of making Counterpart Characters...
You can choose to be a Barb or Brawler... or
Fighter or Mercenary...

They are slightly different... but very familiar...

Barbarian ... = ... Brawler
Fighter... = ... Mercenary
Mage... = ... Sage
Rogue... = ... Thief/Scoundrel
Guardian... = ... Advocate
Samurai ... = ... Ronin
Paladin ... = ... Knight
Monk ... = ... Priest
Ninja ... = ... Shaolin Monk
Warlock ... = ... Sorceror
Headhunter ... = ... Morlock (based on another post)
Alchemist ... = ... Wpn Specialist or other name

Below is what I am writing up as a suggestion for LS... incomplete as you can see... but getting there
____________________

Based on my earlier suggestion of adding in a New Class Suggestion (Weapon Specialist)... one or two people made me
think more on another idea... which at that time I was also thinking the same thing, so here goes it.

Counterpart Classes:

Mercenary: (Counterpart of the Fighter)
The Mercenary combines his balanced skill and determination to take out opponents quicker than his rival... the Fighter... in more ways than
one, the Mercenary will always find fault to the skill of the Fighter, like the Brawler, they think of them as weak and on many occasions prove

the better of him in battle.

Weapons: Sword, Axe, Staff, Longsword, Spear, Polearm
Armor: Scale, Chain, Plate Mail
Charms: All Types
Stats: Strength 55 ... Dexterity 40 ... Intellegence 10 ... Vitality 45

Brawler (Counterpart of the Barbarian)
The Brawler, like the Barbarian excels in the front lines of combat, using brawn over brains. The brawler thinks the barbarian is weak... but a
sturdy opponent, for this the brawler loves to confront any situation when there is a barbarian around... on more than one occasion you can
see these two go at it with each other, and they are normally equally matched, the brawler will always think he is the best and strives to prove
it... no matter what.

Weapons: Dagger, Club, Axe, Warhammer, Battleaxe, Polearm
Armor: Chain, Plate Mail
Charms: All Types
Stats: Strength 65 ... Dexterity 25 ... Intellegence 5 ... Vitality 55

Scoundrel: (Counterpart of the Rogue)
The Scoundrel dislikes his counterpart the Rogue, to them, the Rogue is just a spoilt little brat trying to get attention from other people..
even though the Rogue is skillful in areas that most other classes regard a nuisance, the Scoundrel does envy them slightly, which proves to be
the bane of the Scoundrel. But, when these two go toe-to-toe, you can see the grin on their faces as they try to outwit each other, and you
know who will cheat in this combat as best he can to win... the Scoundrel

Weapons: Sword, Club, Axe, Dagger, Staff, Spear
Armor: Leather Armor, Scale Armor
Charms: All Types
Stats: Strength 30 ... Dexterity 55 ... Intellegence 30 ... Vitality 35

I am liking what I am seeing... will be a definite [x] Yes from me.

Nice to hear... this one might be the killer...

Sage: (Counterpart of the Mage)
The Sage believe that they are the TRUE masters of the elements, and find the feeble Magician to be nothing more than mere wanabes.
So with very little concern for themselves, and the hatred that boils within, you will find the Sage casting elemental storms and ahead of the Magician.
If you are a TRUE master of the elements, why should you hide in the background.

Weapons: Sword, Dagger, Staff
Armor: Scale, Chain Mail, Plate Mail
Charms: All Elemental (NO heals)
Stats: Strength 10 ... Dexterity 40 ... Intellegence 70 ... Vitality 30

Update of the Guardians counterpart

Advocate: (Counterpart of the Guardian)
The Advocate looks upon the Guardian as a weakling, but, knows very well, that a Guardian is a welcome addition to any group, as long as they
stayed true to their path as a healer and combatant. Advocates were trained by the Sage for their awesome abilities in the elemental arts, and
they sort guidance by the Mercenary to hone their skills in the combat arena, with this said, they are renowned for killing by any means necessary.

Weapons: Sword, Axe, Club, Dagger, Staff, Polearm
Armor: Chain Mail, Plate Mail
Charms: All Elemental (NO heals)
Stats: Strength 35 ... Dexterity 10 ... Intellegence 55 ... Vitality 50

Edited for Update on the Ronin:

Ronin (Counterpart of the Samurai)
The Ronin (浪人, rōnin?) use to a samurai but lost his lord or master by the assassinating Ninja's, or by losing face with their Lord or Master. Even
though this has shamed him in many ways, the Ronin strives to save face and pursue the last request given to him. The Ronin will only bow down
to a Samurai that is of greater stature to himself and fight by his side, others feel the wrath of his shame by his sword. The Ronin has been hardened
with his change of life, but it has also effected his health.

Weapons: Sword, Dagger, Longsword
Armor: Scale, Chain Mail, Plate Mail
Charms: All Types
Stats: Strength 55 ... Dexterity 50 ... Intellegence 10 ... Vitality 40
