Shattered Kingdoms

This game is about the intersection of PK and RP. PK should most definitely be influenced by RP in every way at all times.

I've always wanted to play a barbarian who actually made combat choices depending on his INT score. I don't think I'd be able to stomach all the rezzes though.

You could see what it's like from the permanoob POV!

If you needed to be an Einstein to be successful at combat, the human race would have had a much more peaceful history.

Perhaps wisdom would have been a more fitting choice then. It'd be funny to see a low int/wis giant barbarian that would actually break rank and just throw himself at an enemy group once he furied.

I want drunken Viking shield wall battles with insults and mead.

This is not true. Social intelligence != math intelligence.

There was a Giant barb that thought he was a Hellion. Could you imagine a Giant Hellion? He might not be able to cast spells worth a darn, and for reasons I can't explain he wouldn't be able to intimidate very well, despite being very scary, but that Cleave attack would just be hellacious.

I like the, let mercs get another spec idea. Every class could have something like this. Swash could get more finesse things. Scouts make even more/stronger arrows with fletch.

OR

Classes can team up in a different way. Maybe a warlock and a scout could get together and make water/fire/earth arrows. I have no idea how this would work but I think class teamups should be possible over a long period of time.

I love the class team up idea. Have a separate xp for a person that you designate. To earn xp on this separate bar you can do several things: kill NPCs, complete quests, capture/free relics. I would also say participate in PvP but... that would get so easily abused. Based on what each class is gives the person some sort of bonus. ie... xcheese's scout + warlock the warlock can enchant a quiver filled with only arrows to be enchanted with and element. While a scout's herbs could give the warlock an increased lvl of the spell in the herb. Specific numbers and whatnot would be something determined later. This would help make it so that classes can truly have some variety.
