Board Thread:Role Ideas/@comment-28112409-20160805100046

Due to the sheer amount of roles being made that are balance-breaking, make no sense, useless or just not good in general, and the fact that repeating over and over why the role is bad is getting tedious... I'm making this page with all the bad concepts that you must NOT add to your role.

The only exception is if you add the concept and make the role balanced in a way it equalizes this poisonous element for roles, got it?

This list was copied and pasted from the BMG forums. If you object on one of these being a bad concept, don't squeal around this post, go to the forums and make your complain there. Make sure to spread this among other wiki users who make role ideas using a link to this page. So people don't continue to make the same mistakes.
