    Swords begin conversations. Maces end them. So a great, big, hefty mace, a fishing pole, maybe a smithing hammer, and just a touch of magic (I like the shiny lights). So if that's a Cleric...then a Cleric am I...

    Having the one character slot is killing me. I'd love to RP a wine-maker/fencer/proper rogue too.

    Mage, probably full tilt. Splash some alchemy as main crafting, mayby lean it toward druidic feel. Second option is to go Thief/bard tinker, all depends on how the game starts and feels for me

    In terms of combat archetypes, definitely prefer Mage and then perhaps Thief.

    I almost always prioritize magic, and looking at SotA thus far, it is what I will focus on here as well. :)

    Cleric Warrior Class for me, and if founding guilds are in game then we will be founding a guild that you can come to when Artariel's Guild ambushes and kills you! and takes your stuff! (LOL) we will be focusing on revenge for the right reasons, and earning money from the bounties, oh yeah and if we get to loot other players we will loot your killer and give you his/her stuff for a mere 10 gps more! )I know with a name like mine you were hoping id come to the darkside! but just goes to show you can never judge a book by its cover (unless it has a D&D logo on it somewhere)

    Well, as multi-class: Cleric/Mage/Thief, because that way I can work on satisfying my curiousity at any "level" of meaning (life, mysteries, places).

    Doing so, however, requires developing a more-than-average modicum of judgment to avoid the delays, interruptions, and disruptions of mistakes. ("Whoops! Was that your amulet, MR. Dragon? Did you know about the inscript--{ROAR!}")

    Crafting becomes a means, not an end in itself. A justification and support for exploration (new stuff! New Reagents! New Built Stuff!), both of the physical and social worlds.

    Hmm...can I build a 'report ownership change' daemon of some kind into my higher-level goods? Then I can watch the tracks and guess at all sorts of interactions beyond my presence?

    P.S.: Firelotus: I managed to fry the entire party by forgetting that Lightning Bolts bounce. The only consolation we all had, was that my mage was the very last to die, if only by milliseconds. We'd already learned the importance of volumetric accuracy with Fireball...the hard way. Pre-Greyhawk.

    I will probably be a Mage/Thief/Crafter of some sort.

    I’ll probably be doing more to crafting but for combat/exploration purposes I would be going with a thief/mage build. Magic would offer up decent utility abilities and stealthness from a thief would allow me to hide and give me other ways out of combat.

    I would probably choose none as my gameplay is not much of a damage dealer, but more in crafting path. I guess I could be any archtype... As a crafter/merchant could be originaly any of those....
