If you're answering the questions from your own perspective– what you would like or do, or what you think is right– then maybe the political compass could come in (although what familiar you would want to have, or what your favourite colour is, would have nothing to do with it and skew the results that would have to do with it…) a bit. -------------------- A C, an E-flat, and a G walk into the Tower of the Magi.

Or maybe you'd control a character who was looking straight at the camera, and the camera was the perspective of whatever bad guy the character happened to be shooting… :D [ Sunday, April 16, 2006 12:33: Message edited by: Erika Maroonmark ] -------------------- A C, an E-flat, and a G walk into the Tower of the Magi.

You Are A: Chaotic Good Elf Bard Alignment: Chaotic Good characters are independent types with a strong belief in the value of goodness. They have little use for governments and other forces of order, and will generally do their own things, without heed to such groups. Race: Elves are the eldest of all races, although they are generally a bit smaller than humans. They are generally well-cultured, artistic, easy-going, and because of their long lives, unconcerned with day-to-day activities that other races frequently concern themselves with. Elves are, effectively, immortal, although they can be killed. After a thousand years or so, they simply pass on to the next plane of existance. Primary Class: Bards are the entertainers. They sing, dance, and play instruments to make other people happy, and, frequently, make money. They also tend to dabble in magic a bit. Secondary Class: Detailed Results: Alignment: Law and Chaos: Law ----- XXXXXX (6) Neutral - XXXX (4) Chaos --- XXXXXXXXXXXX (12) Good and Evil: Good ---- XXXXXXXXXXXX (12) Neutral - XX (2) Evil ---- (-2) Race: Human ---- XXXXXXXXX (9) Half-Elf - XXXXXXXXX (9) Elf ------ XXXXXXXXXX (10) Gnome ---- XXXXXX (6) Halfling - XXXXXXXX (8) Dwarf ---- XXX (3) Half-Orc - XXX (3) Class: Fighter -- XXX (3) Barbarian - (0) Ranger --- XXX (3) Monk ----- XXXXXXXX (8) Paladin -- XXXXX (5) Cleric --- XXXXXXXXX (9) Mage ----- XXXXXXXXXXX (11) Druid ---- XXX (3) Thief ----XXX (3) Bard ----- XXXXXXXXXXXX (12) Haha.

There was a Deli Sandwich in Exile 1 already (it's an item in the part of the editor that gives you items), a Potion/Scroll/Wand with effect "Yum!" (or was it "???"?). But since I've never registered, I've never been able find out what it did. ;_; -------------------- A C, an E-flat, and a G walk into the Tower of the Magi. Ambrin walks up to them and says, "Hey!

Well, they're in Exile 1, so most likely so. However, they don't play that big a role: the official Spiderweb Exile FAQ says, "Q: How do I get past the double barrier in the Vahnatai cave? A: Play Exile 2." or something like that. -------------------- A C, an E-flat, and a G walk into the Tower of the Magi. Ambrin walks up to them and says, "Hey! It's the Triad!"

Totally. What's the point of the Anama Church running around saying "Mage spells are so destructive! Let's stop using them!" if priest spells actually do more damage? :mad: Now, Exile 1… the main point of priests was to bless, heal, and cure stuff, while the mages unleashed fireballs and such. Ahhh… all was as it should be. ^_^ Poor mages, indeed. Spiffy graph.

I thought so. He is, after all, only 11 years old. :D Although he does play more video games than I do, since he is in sixth grade and therefore (almost by definition) has way too much time on his hands to do such things.

Spring– maybe, but it would be so much fun to finish. And to actually explore the whole world and find all the stuff that's out there. (P.S. "Abreviation" is an abbreviation for "abbreviation"?

I'm sure someone here must know this. My brother was telling me about Halo recently and referred to it as a "first-person shootout" game. I could have sworn that it was called a first-person shooter.

Italic is the name of a style of calligraphy that slants to the right.

The whole wisdom thing comes in. Tolkien's Elves, for example, are old and wise. (So is Gandalf, but he was probably born that way, being a Maia and all. Although he was probably *born* old.) Sauron is old, too, and the fact that he's been around for so long doing evil stuff makes the story an even bigger deal– this is going to be the climax of a good-vs.-evil struggle that's been going on for millennia. Having artifacts be really old adds to the atmosphere of the world because you can add in so much backstory– and you get the feeling that the main character of the story, or you if it's a game, is part of something huge, a saga of the ages… -------------------- A C, an E-flat, and a G walk into the Tower of the Magi.
