Men like football don't they?

[Sakura Leic]

Well it was more that it came before the flat what.

[Amatiramisu]

You must be hallucinating.

Anyway I got sick today too so I just took a nap and I was better.

[Quickman]

I just found a tick crawling up the back of my neck.

[Dr. Wily II]

Well, I am officially sick.

Sore throat, headache and nausea all rolled into one. Goddamn, my throat is killing me.

FINALLY MY PESTILENCE IS SPREADING

Oh Wily, we could use your magic touch here~

[spoiler]I hope you get well soon. Some rest and tea with lemon and honey helped for me when I get a sore throat.[/spoiler]

*gives you the PESTILENCE too*

[Amatiramisu]

I just found a tick crawling up the back of my neck.

Can't beat the brown recluse crawling up my arm onto my pillow like "senpai can i sleep with you?"

[Phi]

I'm feeling much better now.

O.O

I'M ON THE CASE HONEY I'LL BE BACK I'LL GET YOU SOME SOUP AND BLANKETS AND TEDDIE BEARS AND FOOTBALL AND wait

Thx for that~

[Sakura Leic]

So my brother said he's going to try to qualify for the Nintendo World Championship that Nintendo is bringing back.  He needs to practice since the qualifiers are on the 30th.  Like a lot of practice.

[Sapphire Knight]

Hmm... How would you set giants up so that they'd be a balanced rpg race compared to elves, dwarfs, and humans?

[Amatiramisu]

Clumsy, slow tanks.

[ViperAcidZX]

Ugh, I've been wrecking my sleep schedule lately, and staying up to watch Mike Z talk about Skullgirls on UltraChen TV last night really did a number on me...

[Dr. Wily II]

MY VOICE HAS RETURNTH

NOW I SHALL PROCLAIM DOMINION AGAIN

[Sapphire Knight]

Clumsy, slow tanks.

Hmm... Maybe a low aptitude for magic as well? Or would low speed and accuracy be good enough to balance brute strength, defensive abilities, and an increased melee range?

[Sakura Leic]

Wouldn't a Dwarf and a Giant be almost the same thing in an RPG?

[Sapphire Knight]

Well, I'm trying to differentiate them a bit so that giants aren't just super dwarfs. ^^;

[ViperAcidZX]

MY VOICE HAS RETURNTH

NOW I SHALL PROCLAIM DOMINION AGAIN

Hooray! But I think I've gone deaf from hearing the good news.

Hmm... Maybe a low aptitude for magic as well? Or would low speed and accuracy be good enough to balance brute strength, defensive abilities, and an increased melee range?

Now look at what you did, Wily! I can't understand what Sapph is trying to say!

[spoiler]Low aptitude for magic sounds reasonable for a physically-oriented character/race, not too often in the RPG games I've played I pushed physical fighters to do much spell casting or whatnot. The lower speeds about right for a giant but I'm too sure about the accuracy. Sorry if this isn't doing much to help...[/spoiler]

[Quickman]

Hmm... Maybe a low aptitude for magic as well? Or would low speed and accuracy be good enough to balance brute strength, defensive abilities, and an increased melee range?

Low magic skills, or even no magic skills.  Giants are pure fighters.  Big, slow brutes.  These are the ones you put in the front of the party.  They hit hard and they can take hard hits.

[Sapphire Knight]

*nod nod* Meanwhile, I have a 5th race that sits on the opposite end of that spectrum, with uber magic and increased speed, but not too good at taking hits or dealing physical damage.

[Quickman]

Classic Squishy Wizards.

Generally, magic-users tend to have decent-to-high speed and average-to-crappy defenses, with lower constitution.

[Phi]

Pema is my Squishy Wizard

[Dr. Wily II]

Peam so squishy. *squishes her cheeks*

[Sapphire Knight]

Lessee... What did I call my 5th race again?

[Quickman]

Prof. Cuddles is my squishy wizard.  He cuddly.

Funger Muckuss is also one of my squishy wizards.  Faerie Alchemist in Dungeon Plungin' (Prof is a Goblin Cleric), and a mage in DnD.  My only Pathfinder campaign was We Be Goblins, and I played Mogmerch.

[Sakura Leic]

Borock-Bot is my squishy cleric.  He can make Holy Ping Pong Balls of Doom and Destruction rain down from the heavens. 

Eventually I'll have him learn more Time Magic so he can rain meteors, create Earthquakes  (though I stil don't know what that has to do with Time Magic but it's in Bravely Default), Stop and Slow Time (though Stop will have low accuracy), and Gravity (which will also have low accuracy)

He'll probably learn Aero spells too since that's part of White Magic now.

[ViperAcidZX]

Nina (Breath of Fire) is my Squishy Wizard

Now you're speaking my language.
