> A fine example. RBW's get deathblow, along with trophy, spellbane, truesight, resistance, and bloodthirst. Quite a set of powers.

> What else do they get?
>
> 1) No potions, no pills, no friendly spells or zappings, no accepting supplications outside of the shrine.
> 2) An expectation of courage, even in the face of difficult odds. Better learn to PK one on one.
> 3) A Village to defend, even when doing so will likely get you killed.
> 4) Never being able to group or otherwise ally with five of Thera's classes.
> 5) No chance to use some of Thera's most powerful equipment.
> 6) An obligation to risk your hide raiding the Tower and Palace.
> 7) Unless you are an arial or cloud giant, no way to enter several areas of Thera which require flight.
> 8) No pass door, ever. This makes a lot of areas much more difficult.
> 9) One bad enough fuck-up, and now you have no one to turn to, and a goofy title.
> 10) A pile of [WANTED] flags.
> 11) A likely con-death, if you stick with the character long enough to do it.

> RBW's are powerful, but they don't have an easy life. Don't pretend that deathblow is some freebie handout.
