the problem w/ being someone who adores thief/rogue/stealth characters when im playing singleplayer games, but always being the one who steps up to tank in multiplayer games is that like...i always start out going "Okay, this time im finally gonna get to play the way i want" and choose squishy races/options/characters. only to have to tank with them later. and by god do i make it work, but you'd think i would just accept my role as permanent tank eventually

#rn this absolutely stems from my experiences w ESO and DND #like in eso i chose a wood elf bc theyre my fave race and get bonuses for stealth/long range playstyles #and in dnd my tiny under 5ft otter man is the partys tank #bc everyone else is mages or healers and they get one shot if theyre close to big enemies #one day i'll choose a tanky class first and actually maxamize my defensive abilities #but for now i just keep making do with the worlds tiniest tanks ig #i did lament this to our dm and he was like 'next time just be a rogue!! you should get to be what you want to be!!'#to which i replied 'if we play w the same group...do you honestly see any of them tanking'#so the consensus is that i will probs just plan to be a paladin next time 😔#which will be fun but one day i would love to just be the thief my heart desires
