[QUOTE="0bsolete, post: 4157193, member: 56795"] Back when I first started playing, in my second AD&D game ever, I had to reroll my character (using the 4D6, drop 1, placed in the order they are rolled) so I ended up with an 18/46 str, a 15 con, average in other places, except for a 6 int and a 7 wis. I forgot to name my new dwarven fighter (was trying to finish the sheet while the party was in town) and so he got stuck with the first name the thief could think of, Pastry. So my new mentally deficient, happy-go-lucky, good-natured dwarven warrior with a strong distrust for trees believing them to be the spies of an alien race with the intent to destroy dwarves and monopolize the mead industry ran off with the party.
