[QUOTE="fireinthedust, post: 5147525, member: 51930"] Rangerjohn: I'm not saying don't be a Barbarian, but I want you to have him *as* a barbarian if you're going to be one. It's like if you wanted to be an eldritch knight: why are you a fighter *and* a wizard? (or are you going Swordmage, I dunno). I thought a barbarian who discovered sorcery through his rage wasn't awful, actually. (Still, if you're primary caster guy, why lose a level of that?) That's the thing I was asking. It's still there, even if you're a straight sorcerer: why decide to be a Dragon Disciple? What is it that distinguishes him from other sorcerers? Glasseye: I've been thinking: if you've got a mysterious past, should you as a player know it? Like Wolverine not knowing his past for (insert my childhood) years, until a recent (movie-related and awful) origins reveal. If you leave it up to me, I could work *something* into the setting (though not necessarily the plot, per se), and you could puzzle it out. I'm not saying that it wouldn't be exactly what you said; but if you know, then why try figuring things out? And how do I keep you on your toes? Could I try coming up with a reason he woke up in the snow with a doll in his hand? Money: don't buy everyone else stuff. You just happen to have a pile of money right now, I guess. So long as the shopping list is basic... also, maybe your party just got paid for another job, but in rolls of silk and ribbons, jars of tea, sugar, spice, and everything nice. (and a puppy dog tail for Sindri's Troll, if he's good). It's everyone pitching in for the wagon. What is a Flamberge? I can't find it in my hardcopy (so pretty, that book) [/QUOTE]
