I Should've Been A Fighter

So Kari of Suna and I, for those who don't know, are siblings. We were playing our new characters who happened to wander too far in Under Sigil and get the crap knocked out of them because they're weak yet. (Wizard and Favored Soul). I made the comment "I should've been a fighter..." instead of a wizard first due to the fighting ability I want to reach via EK. Kari of course, promptly went into verse and so we took the time to write down a parody of Toby Keith's I Should've been a Cowboy. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Lyrics:

Have you ever heard old Sergeant Dillan say
Hey sissy don't you ever think of running away
Get off your ass and parry me
I'll ask you twice before I snap your knees
He should've said yes, now he's gonna get it
They never got along, it just wasn't in 'em
He just swung and missed as he's blown away
He never thought much of... a mage's place

I should've been a fighter
Should've learned the swords and knives
Wearing my breastplate, trudging through the swamps of Hell
Stealing the old hag's stuff, just like a halfling rogue
Shouting crazy battle cries
Oh I should've been a fighter

I might have had a large sword, with a funny name
Running wild through the planes, seeking, glory
Ending up in the midst of danger, risking my bum for that god damned ranger
No question man, haven't you been told
Sigil's full of tieflings, clueless and gold
Staying out all night in the Cage's bars
An ale in my hand, and a girl... on my arm

I should've been a fighter
Should've learned the swords and knives
Wearing my breastplate, trudging through the swamps of Hell
Stealing the old hag's stuff, just like a halfling rogue
Shouting crazy battle cries
Oh I should've been a fighter
(x2 verse)

Ahahaha! Best line ever. xD
Funny. I used to hear this song all the time when I was a kid, since my mom loved Toby Keith. I can just hear the tune...
Hehe, well done.

I do disagree here, thus:

wrote:We haven't even started and it's almost the end
We never talked it over fact I've never done-a-thing
Two of the different kinda sorts character builds
As the small talk ebbs away the battles are awkward
You hardly even give a chance and I'm staring at the side
I hardly even know your build but I know you're a caster
I want to talk about it but my game screen quakes
It'll only push you further into leading the battles
You want to party yet you are likely better off all alone
The voice inside is always right which is why the awkward battles
Not gonna risk losing you
Which is why I'm never gonna point it out

[Chorus]
I think your AC is more,
Than the AC on me
Although I'm never sure and maybe I should want to rebuild
I think your AB is more,
Than the AB on me
Because the damage you pull boggles my mind

Had we not known and you'd have not looked twice
The joking went along with my roll of the dice
Purely by a chance I happened to kill a knight
Made me really confident with my might
For once I was a no-hitter hitting winning strokes
Yet I never am a winner, I'm a just a fighter
Acting competent like a gish for while
Until you realise I cannot survive at all
Eternal optimism is sparing me on to think
That determination might make it end like this
Might lead me to learn a secret
But I don't really know
Or why I think so
It's just a good hunch
Hunches are always right, right?

[Chorus]
I fought a battle without you after the last time I saw you
I never felt to fight a battle like that before
I learnt a lot about myself fighting all morning
It was absolutely shit, I'm awful at fighting

[Chorus] x 2

Edit; Actually, I'm not sure if anyone has saved my ranger. He's only interrupted when people steal his kills, because he cannot wipe clean the whole plane in some ten seconds. >_>

The ranger line is an old EQ joke about Ranger's trying to tank but being a weak class they couldn't hehhe.
