Jan 11, 2009 17:41:29 I was thinking of playing a Randroid, in D&D terms that would probably be "preachy neutral evil" lol! But I'm trying to decide what class to be.

You could say any class could fit, but objectivism has specific things it rants on and on about.

Self-dependence (Or more accurately selfish and narccisistic)
Creativity (Doing stuff for the sole purpose of profit and glory, art and cures are for commies!)
Greed (Money could exist without other people, srsly! It's like..cosmic man!)
Rationality (In reality this means being a pretensious A-hole who thinks he's always right)

Bard seems like a good choice in theory, but in practice bards rely on others, then again so do objectivists so lawl!

Clerics might work, (clerics of Tiamat anyway) but objectivists are strictly atheist, and it'd be pretty stupid wandering around as a godless cleric, praying to myself.

Psychic Warrior seemed like a shoe-in! He buffs himself and thereby only worries about his own problems, but then psionics are pretty much forbidden in every game for some unknown reason..

I thought about going the lulzy route of shadowcaster, and complaining about those damn libertarians who are evil clerics. Throwing fits about how negative energy is nothing like shadow energy...:P

Self dependence, no problem there.

Creativity, craft things out of the bones of your enemies (or people who don't agree with you) for sale and profit, macabre though it may be, it's certainly makes a statement.

Greed, money could exist without people, and, given your ties to animals, it might even be better without people around to mess it up so much.

Rationality, you are always right. And if someone says you are wrong, well, you needed more bone for your latest sculpture anyway. Honestly, who's going to argue with a fire throwing bear that rides a second bear and summons more bears.
