But just because you are a Leatherworker doesn't mean you can't know something like martial arts. My character is all magic, and I will RP him as such, but I also take into account his upbringing in a Miqo'te tribe where learning how to use a bow and basically defend yourself from hostile people or animals was essential.I followed a very similar premise with S'janna, actually. I figure that, in a small Seeker tribe, each member is expected to have at least a measure of competency in several different skills, such as cooking, hunting (archery!), leatherworking (which I would imagine at the very least includes skinning/tanning hides), and so on. Obviously different characters have different levels of skill- S'janna is only a proficient archer at best- she knows how to put an arrow in a large beast, but would struggle to put one in a human-sized target, for instance. But I definitely do not feel as though characters should feel constrained in their RP by their current (or even non-current) classes.
While I am in the process of making my character's wiki, I wanted to make it clear that I wasn't godmoding, so I stated that he knows some BASIC archery and VERY BASIC martial arts, but is not a Pugilist, monk or martial arts master, and is not that good at archery even by non-Miqo'te standards. So no, I wont be turning him suddenly into Legolas during battle, and no I wont have him go all Jet Li in a bar fight, but I wanted to make it clear that if some drunk thug tried to attack him he wouldn't just roll over and die just because the thug gets too close to him.Â
Sorry if I brought too much of my character into this, I just wanted to use him as an example.
Why can't a character be a Leatherworker and know some martial arts or have a steady means of self defense? If you want to know if that is realistic, then look around you in the non-virtual world.
