That is a LONG post. I suggest you put sections in spoilers ([hider=name of spoiler here]text in spoiler here[hider]; put a / before the 'h' in the second [hider]) to shrink that down a bit.

I may join this (after I finish reading that entire thing). How able are Curse Knights to use swords? If I do join, I'm thinking either Twinblade, Blade Brandier or Curse Knight. I'm not familiar with all of these as I only got to play Infection and didn't read much of G.U. (I think all of the versions focusing on Kite/Black Rose and Legend of the Twilight).
Also-I wish there was a basic 'spellsword' class.
