Warren: It kind of gets into a weird territory when it comes to skills/actions/moves in an RP environment and how things like Jump and pretty much anything the Warrior does work out. Â It's easy to to make the distinction between class and jobs in the game because of the little crystal doohicky, as well as make the distinction between class/job actions and some generic combat actions. Â In an open RP though, conceivably the Miqo'te with their strong legs could perform a Jump-esque attack with a polearm, but then when does a jump become a Jump? Â Warriors also seem to fuel all of their abilities with their own rage? Â And undoubtedly there is an level of extreme skill required to do something like Steel Cyclone in full armor without hurting one's self, but conceivably people could perform a reasonable fascimile of it with some training, but then when does a spinning attack become a weak Steel Cyclone then become a full powered Steel Cyclone. Â
I suppose you could alternately assume some kind of mystical element to these actions that requires some steep training for a character, which seems reasonable for stuff like MNK skills and the Oaths, later DRG skills... I guess that would explain the increased health/curative effects that comes with something like Defiance and why the effects of a Bard's song can't just be pulled out by anybody who is significantly skilled with a harp and has a nice voice. Â
I dunno.
Spoony Bard.
As you keep saying, it's ultimately up to the player but the discussion is enlightening and helps me get a gauge on at least one member of the community if nothing else!
Zhavi: I'm in the Eastern timezone so I look forward to maybe being one of the most of the people you RP with. Â *Thumbs up!* Â I was a Chat RP junkie for a while but found my Forum Legs (so to speak) just a few years ago. Â Total Forum Junkie now.
