[quote=@Dead Cruiser] There's not really a section for weaknesses per say, but were there, I would discuss how contact with sunlight burns his flesh and saps his strength. How silver and living wood cause festering wounds, and that he goes blind from looking at moonlight reflected in silver or in water. How he must feed on the blood of the living to survive, and every passing day that he abstains drives him closer to the precipice of madness, like a rabid dog straining against its ever-weakening leash. I present these vampiric weaknesses because altering how he is now kind of disassembles his entire character. He's an ancient legendary hero... who's a complete dumbass. He's a heroic paladin... who can't use magic for shit. A juggernaut of steel... but a stiff wind blows him over. He's been fighting for centuries... but he's as good as some guy that's been doing it for less than a decade. See what I'm getting at? [/quote] Not many of those weaknesses are pertinent to combat. Even if a couple of the vampiric weaknesses hinder him in specific circumstances, he has so much raw power that it's barely a rut in the road. When I saw nerf him, I don't necessarily mean he gets some kind of arbitrary debuff that just renders him weaker for no reason. I mean things like he doesn't have his armor, he doesn't have his spear and sword, and similar stuff. I see precisely what you're getting at, but that kind of immutability presents a severe issue. If there's no way to make him functionally weaker in order to bring him in line, I regret to say there may be no alternative but to choose a different character. [quote=@Sentel] I hope this is still open for applications, I'm currently filling out a sheet :) [/quote] I noticed your presence. We're still open, for sure. I'll eagerly await your sheet! By the way, to everyone: I have yet to make some sort of tally, but the RP does have only 16 slots. At the moment, only 12 remain. You may have noticed that I'm not turning away any newcomers. I have not completely decided yet, but if you do not submit an application before all the slots are filled, you may forfeit your chance to participate. EDIT: Well, 11 slots, counting one for me. So get cracking!
