Illarion.org

What I'd like to see in the next client is an additional bit of character data a player can look into on their own character (this could perhaps even be tied in with the possibility of other players viewing a short verbal description of the character, modifiable by a "!description" command, along with height/weight and data like that).

The attribute viewer would either display the attributes in value of number, or in shades of color like the skills have been displayed in the current client (I'd prefer numbers for the attributes, but I can live with it in shades as well).

As much as the policy of Illarion is anti-insight of character stats, this bit of the character stats is actually quite handy for roleplaying, say, in case you come back to playing after a few months and haven't written down your character's stats and grow unsure of what you've set in them.

I give this a stamp of approval.

I agree with this proposal and if client implementation is too difficult, this could be an excellent proposal to be integrated into the account web site, just a link on each character where you can view your stats, age, height and description...possibly be able to modify the description too so when you get too busy with school and can't log in for a month or two you can remember what kind of character you created.

Also good for those of us who play multiple roles. Already I have one character I created that I soon after (within a day) forgot whether I slighted him toward the druidic or clerical path (Darn ADD). I figure it will be pretty obvious when I start trying to do one and find out I can't but still, it would be nice to refer back on. After all, stats can affect how you RP a character. If I'm really smart or strong it changes the way I talk and how far I'd be willing to push a confrontation with a belligerant orc
