I think that weapon specialization give the knights an offensive fighting style, but in my opinion knights have to help and protect good people, therefore they should have a defensive style.

Every class have some useless skills, changing this much would overpower knight.

I agree about the hand to hand, they shouldn't be the only ones without it.

In terms of nature protecting, trolls can be considerated poor animals in need of protection

I mean, they "killed" the dead forest, but the anti-ranger has a troll-slayer, so I'm a bit confused.

Just one more thing: this would help A LOT in the tower vs solamnic stuff, that way the tower could act against solamnics that brake the law ( even for a good reason), this also would help clan wars and increase the RP

Just a crazy thoght, maybe clan should replace align?

I mean, alignment vs clan issue has been causin' a lot of trouble lately, mainly with tower, let me give an example:

The elvish transmuter sworn loyalty to the tower above anything else, that way he could group with any other tower mage, but obviously he would prefer to join a  good one cause it's his nature.

Well, just another idea .

I'm just curious 

Thanks, I got used to use quotes on spells,  I didn't used a spell caster for a long time.

Prac 'protective shield'
You can't practice that


But it is in my practice list  .

The site http://www.angelfire.com/la/Lorantha/index.html#Races is a nice one (the only one i could find  )

Maybe keep the clans, but without any extra power (maybe 1 strong?) just for RP propouses???

I like clans, but they can be really annoying and overpowering.

Most racism is dreamed up only in a do-gooders mind, seen where it does not exist, causing more harm when it is searched for and created from nothing.

I know that racism in those books are not a huge problem, but my point is that it do exist, I'm from a very racist country (even with 49% of the population being black) and I know what "real" racism is and how problematic it can be, the only thing I'm saying is that if some fantasy writters had some good will it could change.

Damn, I couldn't hold myself, replied again  .

Well said indeed, oh he of the Grim Ass

Is the second topic most comented, it only loses to "Chemosh" last words.

Well, I think that this topic isn't going anywhere so let me say some final words about it:
Lord of  the Rings:

- Sauron, the DARK lord
-  in the movie, the only humans that fight for sauron (I can't recall the name now) were wearing turbans and riding gigantic elephants (the mumakils), you can't deny that they are moslems.
-the elfs, that clearly mean something like purity, beauty, etc have white skin, yellow, golden or silvery hair and green or blue eyes
I understand that this book was written in the early 1900, but it's still used as base-books to RPG and fantasy books

Dragonlance:

-that stuff that I already said about minos
-the same elvish stuff of the LotR
-The greater evil god is a woman (or a female dragon, whatever)
I didn't actually read  any Dragonlance, all that I know is what I learned playing solace.

Dungeons and Dragons and others similars RPGs

-Drows: BLACK elfs with WHITE hair
-In the whole book, you can only see 1 mulatto character, the others are white.
-again the same stuff of dark lord, dark land etc...

I don't abominate these books, actually I play D&D, and read all of the Tolkiens books, I just think that it could be different, the vile white-skinned elfs destroy a village of peaceful minotaurs.

But it's still racist, they are strong and stupid, it is how Europe use to saw other cultures, seems that this point of view still prevail.

Well... I do not agree with that, these books (Dragonlance, Lord of the Rings, D&D games) suk for that, thats why I stoped reading them.

If you are a f**king nazi simply get out of here.
