If Batman is a wizard...
« on: December 05, 2013, 06:44:50 AM »
Then what would you make Robin? 

I'm thinking of giving my Batman leadership to have Robin around too, but I'm not sure what he should be.

Edit: All sources are allowed except TOB, dragon magz  need case by case approval though.

DFI Bard/Warblade with White Raven tactics? One of the best sidekicks to have around.

And Song of the White Raven OFC.

Yeah, DFI Bard is what I was thinking too, but I forgot until you posted,  that ToB is banned.   :banghead

So without SotWR glory, how mediocre awesome can we make Robin?  I would like him to be as close to the "real" Robin as we can get flavor wise.

I don't really read the comics, so what does Robin DO besides "be Batman's sidekick"? I know he's supposed to be a great acrobat. Maybe swordsage?
I'm not arguing, I'm explaining why I'm right.

I haven't read the comics either, but Batman doesn't really cast spells does he? I'm sure whatever you choose for Robin will work nicely for flavor. I second Bard, they are great wingmen.

No ToB, or I'd say Unarmed Swordsage as well.

Robin (well, Dick Grayson, at least), was an accomplished acrobat and performer. Bard would be good, but I'm thinking a bit differently, possibly a Combat Maneuver specialist. He does a LOT of tripping and throwing in the comics. If this were PF, I'd actually suggest a Maneuver Master Monk. If ToB were allowed, an Unarmed Swordsage focusing on Tiger Claw and Setting Sun maneuvers.

Everything Batman does, but without the constant whining mostly.   :smirk

And with more ladies.  Damn, I guess that's another vote for Bard.  Or Paladin/Sorc Gish?

The latter is kind of nice in that it makes him a bit Batman-lite:  effective, but without the mountain of flexibility that Bats has.  That does actually kind of fit his place in the comics.  Depending on what Robin you're talking about (there are 4, I believe?  And, I think they are all presently operating under some name or another, f'ing DC) and at what time.
