In some cases their versatility also overlaps in Confusion Fu, as their ability to fill a variety of roles with a wide range of techniques can make understanding their full capabilities much harder, but either way, they can also fall into their own category of Difficult, but Awesome due to the fact that because they are so balanced, they lack specialization. The Jack-of-All-Stats can, and often will, become a Master of All if given enough time and effort, although this is usual much more expensive in comparison to a specialist class. It's common for humans to be a compromise, stat-wise, between the classic dichotomy of elves, who are graceful and fragile, and dwarves, who are strong and slow.Īnother strength that helps the Jack-of-All-Stats is resistance to changes brought about by patches or Metagame discoveries that would reduce or remove the need for a specialist class. In games with multiple playable races, it is often the case that Humans Are Average and are therefore the Jack-of-All-Stats race. In either case, the Jack-of-All-Stats is an all-around safe bet for anyone. In other games, the Fragile Speedster can be tough to control while the Mighty Glacier is easier to handle. Some games tout the Fragile Speedster as great for beginners, while the Mighty Glacier is for experts only. They may have trouble dealing with characters whose skills are more extreme than theirs if they're allowed to press their advantages. Whether the character retains their usefulness as the player's skill grows depends on how much the game rewards versatility as opposed to pure power, but the Jack-of-All-Stats is almost never the best character in any given game or a Game-Breaker. They're also a solid choice for advanced players who want the flexibility to exploit an enemy's weakness, no matter what that weakness may be. Quite often, this character is the baseline to get the hang of the controls, since they lack the extremes that might trip up a novice. ![]() Their biggest strength is their lack of a glaring weakness, and their biggest weakness is their lack of an exceptional strength. Strong but not The Strongest, Fast but not The Fastest, Tough but not The Toughest. ![]() The Jack-of-All-Stats is a member of the Competitive Balance lineup who is competent but unremarkable in all areas. May he rest in peace.- Father Chains, The Lies of Locke Lamora Our condolences go out to all those close to him. We are deeply sorry to hear that he is no longer with us. In spirit, however, he will always be with us. Because of his dedication, contributions, and love for art, he will be remembered forever in generations to come. We could do what we wanted to do without being questioned - going our own way. With this spirit, he gave us at Tribes inspiration terms to do the same thing. He shared that love of art with all those around him. He went his own way, made his own decisions, never concerned for profit or renown, but instead always finding and showcasing art that he loved and in which he believed. He was a unique presence in the art world and a dear friend. More than ever before, we are extremely sad at the sudden demise of Jack. As noted in the Art News article we posted, he passed this weekend after years of artistic patronage and community building. We here, the gang at A Gathering of the Tribes, are saddened to share the news that our friend, collaborator, and patron Jack Tilton is no longer with us. ![]()
