weak characters == really role playing

Are you just trying to start a fight on purpose.

Okay, you've disagreed with me... saying that just because the character
is *good* at combat doesn't mean they're *oriented* toward combat.

Now you've disagreed with Jason, who basically just said what I
paraphrased above as your position.  So maybe I've got your position
wrong.

But, if combat-oriented doesn't mean "better at combat than anything else"
and it doesn't mean "combat-oriented in personal outlook", just what does
it mean?

I still maintain that Fizzik is a combat-oriented character, even if he
never *trains* at combat.  It's what he does best, it's what he's
*employed* to do in the story he appears in.  That he never trained in
combat is of no consequence, in my opinion... he's still a combat-oriented
character, both in design and in personal outlook.
