How does each class do it? (A thread in jest)

Post by Judging__Eagle »

We all know the classics:

Rogues do it from behind

and

Bards do it while singing (?)

But how do you think the classes should do their thing?

Here`s some more I`ve got

Monks do it with their hands, or head or feet or any part of their body.

Barbarians do it with power and endurance!

Samurai`s do it for their Daiymo.

Ronin do it for themselves.

Ninjas do it while no one can see them.

Fighters can do it almost anyway.

Knights only do it while `dueling`.


Wizards do it with training.

Sorcerers do it whenever they feel like it.

Clerics have lots of options, and they can get back to basics at the drop of a hat.

Druids can do it with lots of options and with power, flexibility or endurance if they want as well as having help.

Any more?

1st Edition Assassins are deadly when they do it.
1st Edition Cleric will never do it with any sharp or pointed thing.
1st Edition Druids only do it on Midsummer's Eve with mistletoe.
1st Edition Illusionists do it with special effects.

Or possibly master debaters, but this thread is about how they do it to others, not what they do when no one else is around.
