[QUOTE="iserith, post: 7496844, member: 97077"] Nobody's ever told me that I annoyed them as a player, but I do know I have some weaknesses that are certainly of zero help to the team. First, I have terrible spatial sense. Stick me in a relatively complex dungeon like the Tomb of Annihilation and my character would starve to death in there before I ever found my way out. So I am absolutely no help when it comes to navigating. Along those same lines, I am godawful at puzzles. I took the personality trait "I love a good puzzles or mystery" on my ToA character just to be ironic. So, again, I'm dead weight in the team when it comes to that sort of thing. As well, I love a drink or nine when we play, so I will almost certainly not have a great memory for the details of previous sessions. I'll generally remember the broad strokes, but small details will be completely forgotten until someone jogs my memory. My age, which seems to go up every year, doesn't help with this either. I would probably annoy people who take their D&D super-seriously, too. My character are always these pulpy, memey things that are very memorable but who are not serious at all. Or if they are serious, they're a parody of seriousness by being [I]over-the-top[/I] serious. And they always have names that are puns or the like. (But hey, at least people remember my characters' names! They won't remember super-serious guy's edgelord character's name!) Luckily, everyone I play with is in it for the laughs, too. [/QUOTE]
