Dude does not even bother picking any of the major traits just leaves them blank and enters a game and just eats people. I gotta agree that something should be done to increase the skill lvl needed to play one. I almost always roll the stealth class, but I cant take any pride in a kill that requires no skill, thus I can’t justify playing a thief even though it’s the profession I’ve been playing for years.
