[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 7439886, member: 29398"] My first PC (1982) was a Ranger - got beginners-lucky on his past profession/secondary skill roll and hit "high nobility". He turned out to be a prince, first in line for the throne of a realm nowhere near where the party was adventuring...which of course meant he was an insufferable arrogant ass, used to giving orders and having them instantly and unquestioningly obeyed by whoever he met. Yeah, that went over well with the party. :) Then to add to the fun, half an adventure later he got seduced against his will by another PC (charm spells were involved, I think); and when he later realized who was responsible for stealing his virtue things got real ugly. A major PvP throwdown resulted: his murder of the woman who had seduced him was quickly followed by a brawl as the party took him prisoner then put him on drumhead trial and hung him from a tree until dead. A later storyline got him revived (some people in his realm wanted their prince back) and sent home. All in all a waste of some rockin' good stats, in hindsight. My next character (early 1983?) was a far more practical down-to-earth Fighter with a very bland and boring stat line (he came into the game as the engineer you can rescue from the basement of A2 Slavers' Stockade) who somewhat amazingly is still in active play, though intermittent. He did provide one lasting element to our games, however, in that he pioneered the often-seen-since NG alignment: Neutral Greedy. :) The other bizarre record he holds is that over the years he's become a 4th level Fighter on 5 different occasions, twice from below and three times from above! Level-drainers are not his favourite opponent.... EDIT: if this thread is to talk about ancient characters, why is it in the forum dedicated to the newest version of the game? [/QUOTE]
