Do you even know what Trolls are?
I can assure you that our League comes nowhere near being Trolls!
In any event the moderators are getting tired of flaming (Flagg recently deleted an entire topic on SYM due to the inappropriate posts of some members) so let's try to tone back (or at least make the ribbing a little more good-natured

Know this. I hunt Shadow Mages!
I owed no alegiance to the Shadow Guild. I have always been free. I made my intent clear, and that was to scourge Faerun of the plague of magic, the great Corrupting Power, and those who wield it. The Shadow Guild has merged with the cursed Counsil of Mages. Thus, old friends have now become enemies.
The Leage of Divinity will win. Not because they are stronger, but because they are right. Their power is granted. They gain their power through constant devotion to their ideology, rigorous training in body, mind, and soul.
Mages forsake their souls. They concentrate only on their mind. Mages need no ideology or morals. The power of mages is stolen, not granted. They find what power and knowledge they can, and they take it, never stopping to ask why or even if they should. Their arrogance and reliance on an unnatural and tainted power will be their downfall.
I respect the League for their god-granted power, though I promise no alegiance. We have a common enemy.
The Shadow Mages now fight on two fronts. One visible and glorious, the other unseen and deadly efficient.
Thieves, be warned. Leave now, before you are drawn in to the Corrupting Power like a bright-eyed initiate to a mimic's trap. Escape while you have your humanity.
If you cross me, I will let you know, and you can explain your decision to your god!
(Get it? Get it? It's a lame-ass pun! 
) Clerics - Noble Holy Men or Conning Televangelists? I leave each man to his own interpretation. Now personally I'm strong proponent of faith, but it's ludicrous to think the secular faction of the world has no power and can never triumph. And personally I think cooperation between sects is better than rampant tribalism. And it’s not as if thieves are these total weaklings that some League members have suggested. Anybody here ever heard of a little known assassin by the name of Artemis Enteri, Drizzt’s nemesis and equal in combat? As artist Matt Wilson puts it: “Artemis is the guy you don't want to run into in a dark alley. He's also the guy you don't want coming through your window in the middle of the night, like he's doing here. Whatever he's up to, you know it has to be unscrupulous." If Drizzt can respect the abilities of an assassin, why can’t the League?

I think you're right. No one can andle every situation alone. But it's not this the point: even if you're incredibly powerful, i think there's always something to learn from other "sects". Mages and thieves can put up a great alliance.....

No need to say more, you've said it all....
Speaking of which, I think the assassin is the by far the best thief kit. Not that I malign the others, I just think the assassin is the best. What do you guys think? (smooth sequeway to keep this post on topic , eh?
I think so. I don't like swashbuckler because he misses one the main thief attribute: backstabb.
About bounty hunter, i think they're powerful, but for my style of play, i think that the poison ability and incredibly high backstabb of an assassin are invaluable.

Check out this except from The Complete Book of Elves (AD&D 2nd edition). I think it can apply to mages and thieves as wellOriginally posted by Edwin:

Aw is just what it sounds like. Perhaps if I added an extra couple of W it would look better. AwwwOriginally posted by Edwin:
What's Aw????
Anyway: have you read "Melmoth, the wonderer" by C.R.Maturin???
If not i think you'll like it. It's not an easy book to get (here in italy), and not an easy book to read but it's the best i've ever read.
It's just a sound people make when they're flattered or at a loss for words (pretty rare for me to be at a loss for words ) It can't be any harder than Milton's Paradise Lost though. That book nearly killed me 
Great book... GOOD GOD! What have I wrought?Originally posted by Drakron Du´Dark:
I have been Flammed
Just you wait for I to download the whole "Elves of Evermeet, the X rated version" in here
Se ya Edwin.Originally posted by Edwin:

As the immortal bard put it, parting is such sweet sorrow. *Frankly, Kayless, I thought this Alaskan was being downright cold (to continue your pun)Originally posted by Kayless:
