[QUOTE="SSquirrel, post: 5753507, member: 5202"] blargh. I hit the wrong button and lost a massive response. That sucks. Anyway, my characters are rarely the kind who would have immediately taken action against his character. The occasional one yeah, but the last time a zombie sort of game came up, one of the characters I considered was a file clerk. I discarded him simply b/c in the end I would just be making another one real quickly given his skill set, but it was an amusing idea. I've played lots of kender and malkavians in games before, so playing someone who can end up being disruptive is nothing new to me, but that isn't all I do. One of my most recent characters is a halfling that no one quite trusts b/c he's not the brightest, does massive amounts of damage (halfling daggermaster rogue) and his family taught him all kinds of disgusting uses for giant meat. He also gets bored when things don't move along and is a catalyst for change. Like pushing the dwarven fighter off a waterfall when people are taking too long trying to figure out how best to get down. He landed in water and griped about his wet armor, even tho we had just floated down an underground river. His player was high 5ing me and trying to stop laughing. He took action and now everyone has to decide how to act as a result. This is part of how you generate an interesting story. If the characters (key word here) decide they can't trust him and send him off or kill him, then the OP has to make a new character. I've done things on characters that have gotten the party mad at me before, in and out of game. At least once was from something I did b/c the DM passed me a note telling me to do something. The players at the table thought I was first picking unknown loot and got upset at me. Not their characters since they didn't know. I wasn't willing to take the heat and showed them the note and told them that a) it's a game and b) the DM was deciding to act thru me so they could can it already. I know at least one of the players held a grudge on that and i'm still kind of dumbfounded. That was the result of a very inexperienced DM tho, so things like that will happen. Again, I'm curious if we will ever hear the fallout of that session. [/QUOTE]
