Due to 'legal' shit I've had to cut some content from these videos, I'm still working on the Burn butcher burn and the Warrior Comes Out Of Retirement videos so they can be reposted. Edit: I had to edit the Restless Child video due to a news paper I had forgotten, the updated version is now included on this post If you wish to know more about this bs you may press the keep reading.

Rise of the Third Power has some of the best characters in all of RPG history, combined with one of the best turn-based RPG combat mechanics.

But, my personal favourite is Rashim

Muslim sun priest Paladin, which I have wanted to play forever.

One of his powers is Lure, that increases the chance of enemies attacking him.  Each stack of Lure increases the chance.  Now, this works fantastically well, as a) some enemies are immune to Taunt, but not to Lure.  b) This doesn’t focus ALL of the attacks on him, just most of them.  Without the Shield from the priestess, no tank can survive all of the attacks from a late-game swarm.  So, giving him MOST of them dramatically increases his chance of survival, while still being a damage sponge.  He has the skill Lure, which is free, which grants 3 stacks of Lure.  He has two kinds of (mutually exclusive) counter attacks, that are free, and add one stack of lure.  He has a regen ability that grants one stack of lure.  He has 2 talents, one that can have him start with one stack of lure, which makes him the only tank that doesn’t have to try, (one stack isn’t that good, though).  The other one gives him a stack of Lure for every kill.  That doesn’t seem that much, until you consider the attack above.

This is Sunray.  He uses his rifle to fire a magic, all-target sun attack.  Which, FUCK YEAH, (his giant scimitar is used for counterattacks).  Now, this is his BASIC attack.  Now, a basic all-target attack, (the only free all target attack in the game), is balanced to have really low damage.  Well, this game lets you make things strong, let’s you work around weaknessess, etc.  So, a) it can be combined with the spy’s Poison Weapon ability, so poisons every-single-enemy every time you attack.  b) you can mix/max him for Sunray.  This reduces the rest of his damage, but his strongest aspects are being shiny (lure) and his all-target attacks.  He can sweep swarms of enemies, while tanking their damage and letting the blood of everyone that tries to attack him.

The downsides:  They turned what I hoped would be my avatar for the game and made him gay.  And then added gay babies, because they are vogue right now.
