The Shaman said:It's only a "problem" if you won't or can't generalize a bit for the sake of an informal poll on an interweb fansite.
I find myself unable to.
On one hand my current PC (I've only ever in my life had two) works for the town guard, lives in a small appartment provided by his church, and has about 130 gold to his name that he has to stretch to make ends meet. On the other hand, he escaped from the Blood War in Acheron with an cursed artifact (getting benefits but with consequences attached) and is quickly moving up the political ladder more easily than others around him. He actively looks for adventure, and being a Paladin is very concerned with smiting Evil and helping innocents.
He seems to have strong aspects of both sides. And, this DM likes characters who are destined for greatness (as seen in the last and only campaign he's ever run), so in a metagame sense I know that at some point that will come into play.
I wish a "both" option were present.
