First off, I wanna say "FU D&D nerds!" I really wanted to see crafting and gathering classes to be able to participate in battle, not just parley with the enemy. You can do plenty with a needle and thread such as: poison needles, cut off limbs with thread, and slice your throat with piano wire. Getting hit with goblin frying pan was fun and pretty funny back in ffxi, and I want to be able to do the same thing. Maybe I'll make a mech that I can ride to battle and run around as blacksmith, or maybe make a mechanical puppet as goldsmith and become like a puppet master. Maybe make catapults as carpenter. Alchemists can use guns, make bombs, and throw vials of anthrax. This will bring in that uniqueness and fun element that's much needed in this game. Just because we don't carry a sword, a bow, or a lil gay wand doesn't make us less capable of being in battle.
