[QUOTE="Spove, post: 702794, member: 5433"] To an extent I agree. Several months ago I had to make a 6th level character for a pick up game. On a side note we have several pick up games that we play when we are missing players and can't play our primary campaign. So this character would only be played once in a while. That being said, the group was in desperate need of a front line fighter. So, a fighter I would make. Now don't get me wrong, I am a fighter fan. But I have done several variants and it was starting to feel cliché. So I decided to make the complete opposite of what most of my fighter characters are. I made a lesbian fighter. A big beefy one to boot. Her looks and personality are similar to that of Rosie Odonnel. Nobody seemed to mind, though at first I did get some odd looks. At our last session we had a character die. The player designed a new character and brought her in. Low and behold it was a high charisma female. So keeping in my 'man in a woman's body' mindset that I had adopted for this character I started hitting on her. Long story short, too late, this new char was on the feminine side of the lesbian world. Some players seemed to think it very odd; comments and snide remarks were made. But this doesn't bother me nor the other player. No we don't get into detail about their after hours encounters. We just leave it at they bunk together and are obviously involved with each other. I have to admit that at first it felt sort of odd. But I think that was just a brief wave of homophobia. Once that passed we had a good time of it. Basically their inter-character relationship and actions are no different than any other entwined characters. Whether they be servant/lord or brothers or whatever. In this case they just happen to be lesbian lovers. So far it has been a fun game. Once some of the other players can accept that character actions/mindset don't have to reflect player beliefs at all, they will be fine with it. And if they don't, well, they can just deal. Besides my character is now a 9th level powerhouse. If they have a serious problem they can act it out in game. [/QUOTE]
