replywhat the crap. i haven't been following this, but they use a nice quote for tolkein before every class, and then the go on to talk about combat. for example:
Guardian
'Go after those two young hobbits, and guard them. . . .'
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, "The Breaking of the Fellowship"
A doughty fighter and protector of the weak, a skilled Guardian can face even the toughest foes and survive. The Guardian is one of the few classes willing and able to try to draw more blows onto themselves, so they can retaliate with devastating maneuvers in response.
Minstrel
'. . . in the midst of their merriment and tears the clear voice of the minstrel rose like silver and gold, and all men were hushed.'
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, "The Field of Cormallen"
With song and tale, a Minstrel brings hope to places thick with gloom. He can inspire those with desperate minds and heavy hearts to great deeds. In battle, he can turn the tide with songs that strengthen his allies and dirges which strike fear into the hearts of his enemies.
the magic of tolkein is not combat, not by a long shot. if that is what they are going for, they are just going to be a movie licensed WoW knockoff, and they will fail.
