[quote=Dead Cruiser]Let's call it "superior technique and experience." Sorin has been fighting with a sword for six-thousand years. Saber has existed for only about fifteen-hundred years. Factor in that Sorin too has superhuman fighting ability, and we can wave away a parry.[/quote]

You don't get to declare yourself a better swordfighter than the character whose abilities are nothing [i]but[/i] hitting things with a sword, simply because your character's older. This isn't how things work.

[quote]What I do find ridiculous, though, is the expectation that I'm apparently supposed to tailor my roleplaying around the fact that your characters have the irresistible urge to wantonly murder party members as they see fit. As much as you keep saying that you didn't want to do this, you still kind of... did. You can say that to not kill him at this point would be out of character, but I doubt "delves into a mindless killing frenzy at the implication of something evil afoot" is a trait of either character.[/quote]

The sum totality of tailoring asked for was 'please don't announce you're a sociopath serial killer'. You're having Sorin display all the self-preservation of a kumquat. If you go up to a holy knight and say 'I eat people', do you really think they're going to shrug it off?
