Fighters - 10
Clerics - 6 (a vast improvement since last I looked at these stats)
Magic-Users - 6
Thieves - 6 (incredible, considering how much the class sucks)
Dwarves - 3
Elves - 3
Halfling - 2
Pigs - 1
Thieves only suck if the DM sucks at including intelligent swords into the treasure tables--you know, since the ability to use magic swords was *the* defining fighting-man class ability in the LBB, it shouldn't be a surprise that the thief sucks if a sword +1 isn't any better than a mace+1.
Just noticed this. Awesome. I have enough money for a remove curse now, but I've officially played more as a pig than I have as a human, and I've grown quite fond of the constant challenge to my creativity it demands.

ReplyDeleteI had never consider this, UWS guy.
ReplyDeleteI usually shy away from intelligent weapons after seeing them used poorly in the past but I think I definitely need to reconsider that.
Thank you for the insight.
I am curious about how pig is nearly as popular as Halfling.
I'm curious as to how Pig isn't more popular than Halfling.
ReplyDeletePig isn't a choice, it's more of a destiny.
ReplyDeleteWhat did you use to make your pie chart?
ReplyDeleteprogram, I mean?
ReplyDeleteGoogle Docs.
ReplyDeletegoogle docs has been my go-to solution for pretty much everything for almost a year now. :)
ReplyDeleteUWS, my brain is fuddled today. Are you saying that the Thief stinks less if you give them an Intelligent Sword? What does that do to the Fighter?
