Random minifig of the day: col254

I have this one, and I’m really glad I do — he’s one of my favorite CMF’s of all time. A lot of really cool, useful pieces.

Got one of these guys, wish I had more…! Such great parts!

I thought Cole’s signature color was black, or very, very dark grey.

"I'm not Batman."

I used to have 4 of these guys. Then during my last mini dark age I sold them... I regret that now!

Lego had that hood and didn’t make a Ninjago Plundar figure? We were robbed.

I bought one a couple of months ago for €2. I love it; it's one of my favorite CMFs. More Wolfpack please!

Called a Rogue but seems more like a Ranger to me. They must be multiclassing

"My name is Oliver Que...Wait...IT'S NOT?!?!?!":D

And I completely agree w/ @Brickalili , he does look more like a Ranger (and thus a 'Forrestman')...I know trying to remember my copy of "The Complete Rangers Handbook", and if such a Multi-Class was allow...I don't think it was, at least under 2nd Edition...:)

That’s what makes him such a rogue!

He’s not called a Rogue for nothing!

ROGUE ROGUE ROGUE ROGUE MULTUS ROGUE ROGUE MULTUS ROGUE ROGUE ROGUE ...

Don't think anyone here will get that reference.... Anyways, wish I had gotten this fig back in the day, but CMFs were always hard to get. And $4 for a single minifig was, and still is, too much for me.

I’m completely unfamiliar with 2nd edition, having only played 5th where such a multiclass is not only allowed but has some decent synchronicity

I just watched a video that explained why the multiclass system was designed in such a terrible way (it was basically intended to be an in-game representation of why Humans had become the dominant species over all the demi-human species). All I remember is getting shafted the one time I actually tried it. AD&D was not the game of choice in my college friend group, but we did have one guy who wanted to run a game, and I ended up opting for…can’t even remember what pairing. But I do remember thinking it made no sense that humans could only dual-class, while demi-humans could only multiclass. Whatever I was playing, I’m pretty sure I got burned by some misguided house rules. I earned less XP, so I reached four combined levels slower than other players reached the more powerful 4th Level. And I had my HP rolls halved…and rounded down. Since one of my two classes was a magic user of some sort, that meant I had a 25% chance of gaining a whopping 2HP, but generally only got 1HP when I leveled up in that class. Which I did at a glacial pace. The end result was that I ended up feeling like I was half as powerful as the next weakest member of the party. That and the gutter-crawling-drunk idea of THAC0 are the two main reasons I was a bit excited to see AD&D die a long-deserved death when some of us got the chance to play test 3rd Edition.

"Lore Time, Lore Time!

Rogue's real name is Anna Marie LeBeau, and though she's been a mainstay of the X-Men for decades, she got her start as a villain in the employ of her foster-mother, Mystique. During one of her first outings she absorbed the powers of Captain Marvel, and she used these powers to single-handedly clobber the entire Avengers-roster...

Yes? Sorry, what? What do you mean, "wrong Rogue"?"

You should have mentioned that her turn to good may have started when she kissed Rom in an attempt to steal his powers, but only absorbed part of his psyche.
Then she had to touch Hybrid.

"Your wish is our command" Said lego, creating another wolfpack CMF in series 27

Don't get the reference, but SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM BAKED BEANS AND SPAM

A rogue is not to be confused with a rouge. I mean, yes, there *is* red in his outfit, but it's not *all* red.

And it’s not on his face.

Great figure

Hmmm… @PurpleDave I recall that dual and multi-classing WAS allow in AD&D (but NOT O.D.&D.), but restricted by:
-Race/Species: Dwarves for example couldn’t be Rangers…well…’til ‘The Complete Ranger’ handbook, which created: the ‘Mountain Man’, the ‘Guardian ’, and the ‘Warden’. Also, said handbook reinforced the ‘no non-human’ rule, but I’ll get to ‘the workaround’ in a moment. Elves had no such restriction on being Rangers, just the Duel/Multi-classing (see ‘workaround’)

-Alignment: Rangers are/were restricted to beings of ‘Good’ alignment, while Rouges are…well; Rouges, of ‘Bad’ alignment (Yes, yes, I’m WELL aware of ‘the Robin Hood debate’). No, such a ‘mix’ would not make as much sense as say: Ranger-Druid, or Ranger-Wizard, or even Ranger-Cleric…But, that was up to 2nd Edition…and, of course…

-World/Setting (aka “the Workaround”): Some game worlds/setting allow Duel and Multi-Classing, Krynn (“Dragonlance” world) allows Elves to be Ranger-Druids w/level restrictions; and of course, the afore mentioned ‘house rules’ (aka: “If the DM allows it…”..which IS ironically how Dragonlance came about..)

Also: funny enough, AD&D wasn’t my ‘go to’ to want to run, let alone play either. No, that honor would go to: “DC Heroes”, an RPG set in the universe of DC Comics (“Justice League Mobil” game/campaign lasted 10 years), ‘silver’ goes to: “Star Trek” (“Generation Beyond” game/campaign lasted 8 years, and three rule sets/systems), and ‘bronze’ (draw breath): my TMNT/Hero Unlimited/Ninjas and Superspies “no humans” mega-mix…*hew* (game/campaign lasting 6-7 years)
