mattrious Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 I'm just curious what everyone thinks the proper RP should be for a giant? Should they speak like a well educated elf or drow? Should their speach be broken like a drunken dwarf at Oktober Fest? I'm getting into a giant char and just curious. I mean he is intelligent enough to cast spells and the like. So should he be able to hold a conversation and not have the attention span of a three year old on crack? I know on some RPing games giants are basically, "Oooo Duh...Mooo...booger. Good." Anyway - just looking for advice! Thanks! - Matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest emp_newb Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 the sweet thing about rp, is it is whatever you want it to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyzarius Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 read the essay about Wis and Int. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tantangel Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 I concur with Kyzarius. It's a good read for one and can give you more of an in depth look on how you have played or even play your characters. Myself, no matter how stupid or unwise a race is, they can eventually learn things well enough they could be intelligent. IE: Elf minimum age is 300 of course they'll know a lot compared to say a Giant who's minimum age is 9. Even if you get to the point your Giant is in their 30's, they can be RPed to have learned a bit in their journeys to at least recognize various intelligence and become wise as to how things should work in life.

spiegel06 Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Well I had a Storm berzerker Knight and his rp was he did not speak until he was accepted into Knight. Because he could not control his rage. He slaughtered his village because of a raid that happened. So he had to atone for his sins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinicky Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 I know that there are stats and such that supposedly help define RP, but I ignor ethat. I think of what would be fun to play and try out, and RP that. For example, I have wanted to RP an incredibly educated giant for some time. One who spends a decent amount of time with his nose in a book, and speaks quite affluently. As a result, however, he is a bit ostracized from his giant community, and this is what brings him out of his village and into Aabahran. Anyhow, the point of that is you can do whatever you want. Make it fun for YOU, not what everyone thinks it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insepiddeception Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Limtyran my stone giant ....read and ate books thinking it would make him smarter....he wasnt a imbecile but he didnt exactly wow you with intellect. Like what was previously said it just depends really on how you play it off...it could be an older more worldly giant. I am still pretty shocked an FG can be a cleric though.

EyeSeeU Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 I know right its like since FG's can be clerics why not just let them be Dark-Knights to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister E Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 I would think it takes more int and wis to cast than to commune... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EyeSeeU Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 I think it would take more intelligence and wisdom to devote your life to a God and pray to him for power then to memorize a couple fghjdsjhjs mutterings that cast a few spells.

goldbond Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 reciting mage spells requires study of an arcane tongue to FL, and this is directly comparable to knowing somebody that spends his whole life studying Latin and ancient Greek. languages that are dead and unpracticeable outside of an academic setting. mastering this certainly takes more INT/WIS that saying a prayer to your god in your head in the same language that you already speak.

You close your eyes momentarily or narrow them, envision the outcome and it occurs. Much simplier than conjuring some complicated arcane spell.

Chayesh Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 RP reasons aside, I can only imagine the complete unbalanced nightmare that a DK with mastered bash, enhanced damage, and the highest strength in the game, wielding a malformed two-handed weapon in each hand while casting fireball would be.

EyeSeeU Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Yeah but I wasn't being serious at all here I took what was said about why fire giants are allowed to be clerics and expanded on the idea. Get it now? Chayesh you so know you would want to roam around as a Fire giant Dk with a Warlock and two lvl 10 malforms...hell I would! heh.
