Would you rather be a mage, archer or a knight?

So, uh, when is this going to stop?

i dont know.. seriously i do not know..

I always find Magicians most powerful if they're ecperienced enough.

I like magic.

I'd be a knight, without a doubt!

I'd be an archer. I could pick off people before they got too close to me, and if the battle becomes hopeless, my light equipment helps me to easily abandon my comrades! :D

Plus I won't see any awful blood-spattering and eye-gouging. I mean, long range (Bows, guns, snipers, etc.) I could probably handle. But getting up close and personal? I don't think I could bring myself to stab a man. But shoot him? Hell yeah. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Stabbing is better, great for revenge and kills them quicker! Mage is merely tortuing the victim.. Plus all that shiny armour gets you lucky on saturday knight ;)

What edition are we talking. ;) But for real magic all the way.

Ideally, I'd be a dex-based fighter. Preferably dual wielding. Maybe I'd be a ranger... God, who am I kidding, I just want to be Drizzt Do'Urden!

I was seriously considering getting my hair died white this evening. I really hope I wasn't subconsciously thinking of Drizzt, that would be just too much.

Damn dude, who wouldn't wanna be a knight?

A king?

A KDAY?

The opposite of a knight, apparently.

A magician. I would just cast a curse on my opponent and wouldn't even NEED to face him/her in battle.

Yeah but mages can't wear much protective clothing as to a knight, however the magic that they cast on the armour would vibrate dramaticly hurting hte knight badly. Range wouldn't be good against a knight because the arrows need to be precise to penetrate full steel armour. Besides, Knights get to use the same weapon over and over again whereas the archer and mage need to restock on supplies before fighting.

Plus you know your goin to heaven when u die.

Sounds an awful lot like you've been playing Runescape, cause I don't know too many other games where armour causes you to be more affected by damaging magic or where bows take any more of a penalty against heavy armour than any other weapon. In any case, the fighter can only use those advatanges if he can get close enough to the offending archer/mage. An archer would use his keen senses to hear the fighter with his loud armour coming and take him out with, if not normal, magic lighting arrows. The mage (we must assume he's high level, since a low level mage is almost worthless in battle)would see him coming with his intelligence, or would see into the future weeks ahead of time and be ready for the fighter.

Heaven's for sissies [img]tongue.gif[/img]

yea, but u get 70 virgins right after u get through the gate.

<font color=ggffcc>An Archer of course, equiped with a cloak of confussion, no doubt.</font>

Ah, but that is the trick. They make you THINK it's heaven by giving you 70 virgins. Once the virgins run out though, what's left?

But i do know that arrows would have a hard time getting through the armour. Knights can also throw their weapons too making them an archer and a knight [img]smile.gif[/img] Then after the clock hits 3, we all shake hands and go in the nearest pub to watch England getting thwarted by Australia.

Also, since I don't follow football (American or European), I say we go Rammstein concert and rock out.

He was talking about cricket. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Look, I don't watch any sport whatsoever. SO the Rammstein offer stands.
