I think one of the main reason would be just for being able to run niche builds. Like you could make him a third ranger or something. That and the general novelty of it.

What i think is bad about him being a Rit is for people (like me) that don't have factions...so basically the "elite" hero is worthless to me....total BS if you ask me. What they should do is allow you to have a ONE time pick of his primary profession...once u pick it you are stuck with it...

Now that you mention it, I can't see any real advantages. Just seemed cool at the time.

I kinda wondered if "Variable" only meant he'd be a clone of your character. Since he's "formed from the mists" and such things need a "suitable human template" or something to that effect.

It's good because you can change it to your likings. If you need a third monk, Razah could become one, after that you need a second mesmer (I really need a second mesmer btw), Razah could just change.
The one profession that my Razah would NEVER be, is a Ritualist... Except now then...

im kind of happy with the Rit hero. i felt like rits were a class that was "forgotten" in NF, i feel bad for all those rits who came to NF and saw that there is only 2 armor sets (i love buying armors, and i know many other do as well) and kind of weak elites.
they deserve their own hero (heck, we have assassin hero!)
about the primary profession changing hero... would be handy, but ya... runes and armor chnaging would be such a hassle i would just make him 1 permanent profession (never change) cuz most of the time you dont need more then 2 characters on the same class in a party, unless you are runing some farming thing (only 1 i can think of is B/P teams and searing flames eles atm)
oh ya, there is 2 heroes of each class availble btw...

Point is, why NOT a variable hero? He STILL could have been a rit when you wanted him to be or something else when you didn't.

Not variable because how would you manage the armor, the runes, the inscriptions, the insignias, the weapons, etc?
Anet would need to write some kind of system just to manage one NPC. Creating skin is easy - but writing code is very difficult and time consuming.

And (before Razah) no ritualists. Now, we have only one assassin, mesmer, and rit.
Oh ya, there is only one dervish and one paragon hero too.
Man, a variable Razah just keeps seeming better and better...
Oh ya, OP, the point of a variable hero is so we can have more variable of builds, as in, at least two heros for every class (except rit) (and even three heros for some classes)

yeah my guess is that was the idea but they couldn't get it to work. with the backlash from part of the vocal community over not releasing the full game at once, I'm sure they were under pressure to get him out one way or another. the interface doeszn't really support a variable class hero I suppose.

There are ritualist skills in Elona, but I agree. It's a real problem that was over-looked and one more reason to make him variable.

It wouldn't have been impossible to make him variable, but it would have required changing a good bit of stuff, and he is a plain Ritualist. And as the only Ritualist he should be made easier get imo
