Guys, I have to point out that I think you cut too much from the description. Now it looks too short. Now, I get that you guys have a "work in progress" thing going here, but when it comes to the main description page, isn't it best to do it all at once? Changing it a bit at a time just makes it look weird. I'm not even sure if I wanna even look at those pages anymore. I feel like you guys have completely destroyed my image of a Magnificent Bastard.

Eddy, the description was agreed on by the thread. Unless if you can pitch a way to improve the description, just move on.

Also, regarding the thread you made that has been closed: just because you feel the description was butchered up is a weak reason to outright cut the page.

The one thing I would add is a note about Guile Hero at the bottom of the description; it helps to enforce that this is primarily a villainous archetype.

You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"

Added a short "compare" for that trope.

No qualms with that being added.

OK, let's close this. If folks want to add some analysis, the Analysis.Magnificent Bastard page is always there.
