Ultima Weapon? Really? That must be at the bottom of Whisperwind...

I was planning on giving my ninja the Masamune...

Well, I ended up with:

W.Wizard- Ultima Weapon
Knight- Ragnarok
Ninja- Murasame
B.Wizard- Masamune

Masamune is the strongest (non-Ultima) weapon that a B.Wizard can equip, but he gets Saber to make up for it.

Right, so here's a question for you.

Thieves in RPGs. Got them in mind? Excellent.

I have five classes for my thief character. Although one is likely not going to be available immediately.

The other four are as follows:-

Brute:- Focuses on the physical stats, not so agile or smart
Grifter:- Not very strong or agile, good int stats
Cat-Burglar:- Good agility, decent int, low physical stats
Thief:- All around good, with a bias on agility


Right...so special abilities, then. I picture the Brute inflicting large amounts of pain and getting very little cash. The grifter inflicting status effects and attacking the mind instead of the body, and getting rather decent volumes of cash. The cat-burglar goes for agility, gets average quantities, doesn't do much in the way of damage but is excellent at dodging damage, and escaping battles.

The thief has access to the basic techs of all three of the above.



What's the final class? Ninja. Places emphasis on agility, strength and intelligence in that order. Doesn't steal, but inflicts damage instead. Yes, I think you can see why it's not immediately available... Likely some quest or other to get it at all.


Now this is bugging the hell out of me... Is that balanced? If not, how do I fix it in your humble estimations?

The two things that bug me..

Ninja pretty much erases the use of Brute, intentionally or not. And 'Ninja' is kinda the odd man out of the group.

I'd think something like "Swashbuckler" would work well, if you're not entirely determined to have Ninja.

Hrm. Okay, thanks. I'll probably do that.


The swashbuckler thing is really a good idea. But what sort of techs would it have?

Hmmm...

...what about the gentleman theif? Like Robin Hood or Lupin III?

Emphasis on stealing money, but low damage, and decent other stats.

Sword moves

Witty Repartee- infuriates (berserks) the opponent, but lowers his accuracy.

Less agility, heavier armor (not too heavy). Swords, as opposed to daggers.

MFD's got the idea.

Swashies should be Rogue-like characters that can somewhat function as primary melee damage in a pinch,

Nah, intimidate should probably just lower defense.

No, it should halve the attack of every enemy on the field. :P
