Race: Mechanics or RP

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

Did you select your main character's race because of Roleplay, or Mechanics?

rp

[Jayvn]

the choice Because dark elves are so fucking badass RL I thought they would be in gemstone as well was not available :(

[Asha]

I choose mine through what I believe would look coolest in my imagination and how I'd like them depicted.
Mechanics don't matter to me anymore. As in being ''the best'' I could possibly be etc.
And wtf is RP?

[Fallen]

I posted before I know it was a poll :(

[Celephais]

What if I selected their race because GS had some really shitty documentation and I didn't know any of the Mechanical or RP advantages/drawbacks of a given race in their world, so I just went with Human to try things out, and happened to think that level 7 was way too much time invested to reroll?

"Dark elves are so fucking badass RL" ... yeah, not existing is fucking badass.

Role Play all the way. Dhe'nar exist for it (and to make you look bad). :D

I've seen dark elves walking around IRL. At Ren Faires. Those dudes must rock MAAAD shoe polish.

I did a quick google to find a picture of a LARP dark elf to make fun of, when I came across this stone golem... and I don't want to call it awesome because then I'd have to make fun of myself.

Roleplay, no question about it. I cry when I look at her stats because mechanically she suffers badly but her weaknesses are all part of her charm.

The mechanical nature of the race was most suited to the desired RP concept.

...He looked bad ass on the site

[Mighty Nikkisaurus]

Almost all of my races were selected for RP purposes.

I will call it awesome for you. That is awesome.

That looks like a better version of Ben from the FF movies.

[Goretawn]

Is it a dwarf stone golem? The legs look like they are way to short.

Mechanics all the way baby! Only ugly people RP.
