Character Card Packages for 10th Anniversary Event!

As I said in the first post:

Some professions will have more package options then others.

Archer is not the only profession with only one package option.(Alchemist, Healer, Priest, Physician, Racketeer, Scholar, Spy)

These professions are all somewhat specialized and I did not see the need for multiple packages.

i find it some what odd that certain lists arnt allowed to use weapons they have acess too in any of there packages, such as ronin not being able to use katana

Can we dump skills and use that build for more career points? Case-in-point the psion packages... psion defense ranks are a waste of build, IMO. Package B would be perfect if you could just dump the defense ranks and use that build for more Psi points.

I'm not talking about adding skills.. just removing.

I really wish we were allowing for roll-your-own characters, but realize how hard that would be logistically. If it were earlier, I would offer to put together an online character generator.

Agreed. Want more Psi Points. Maximum PEWPEW!

You must understand, everyone, that the reason for this system was to allow the maximum flexibility with the minimal down time for Logistics.

Had we allowed for "Roll your own" fully generated characters, we would need a computer at the event, a printer, and a ton of time to process through everyone hemming and hawing and making last minute changes. Or we'd have hand-filled out cards which any player could edit on the fly and keep having any skills they conveniently wanted.

This system allows us to have a standardized "Menu of Option" that players can pick through to get something close to their ideal build. It also allows the cards to be properly printed so that we don't have to worry about custom-editted or illegible cards.

Does this allowed you to totally do *Exactly* what you want to do? Of course not. Maybe you can't be a Polearm wielding Ronin or a Mage with only one spell and tons of Magic points, but it does allow you to get close. Does it mean that there is only one option for Scholar or Archer? Yes, but let's be honest, they are specialist characters. At level 5, for a single event, there is only so much variation to expect for a class that will likely be played by one or two people.

We have put a tremendous amount of work into making sure all of you would be able to play any class in this event, and to maximize to the best of our ability your enjoyment of the anniversary weekend, and while we appreciate constructive feedback to this system, we also implore you to work within the logistics structure we've established for the event.

Thank you and please enjoy the upcoming KR events.

Not necessarily. It's easy enough to say "You only get to pick exactly what you want if you pre-reg."
