The Mimic
Imagine being able to do anything… imagine calling down the power of the gods, cleaving your opponent in two, and picking the noble’s pocket… all at the same time. In a world of such grand adventures there are grand adventurers, but that isn’t you, you just pretend to be like them.
Cleric or sorcerer? Hmmm, I could be both, but then I couldn’t be a rogue, but I could get spells, lots of spells, but I really want to climb that wall today, but then again I could do it if I were a wizard, but then I won’t be able to use that great-sword I made yesterday, but if I do that I won’t be cleric because that is just too demanding… ah I have it! I can be a paladin rogue! That gives me everything! – Mithray the Morose Mime, trying to decide his personality for the day.
