[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 4129193, member: 9037"] He knew about the racial issues with St Cuthbert's church I got the idea from him for it. When we discussing his background he asked if there was racial intolerance in the human churches and I thought wow that would be a good idea. In his background he has had a couple of nasty encounters with clerics of St Cuthbert. He also knows how bad the tension has been growing between the two churches. He also knows that he is in the Holy City where all the good and neutrul temples have their main temples. It is totally ruled by clerics and is its own country. It is also a human dominated city and that other races are considered second class citizens. Right now he is not in the best situation to be able to be the face and the diplomat of the party. In this situation the cleric is in his element. Just like with the goblins the bard was in his. I do think part of this is happening because of Rich's real life issues. He has a lot of pressure in his real life. He hates his job and was looking for another one when his wife was diagnosed with glaucoma, she is going blind. Now because he has fantastic insurance he does not feel he can leave his job. His dad has senile dementia and all that is being dumped on him. His mom is totally helpless she does not know how to drive. So now he has to drive her shopping to the doctors plus drive his wife to work and on all her errands amd drive his dad around. I think it is because of feeling stressed out having to drive everywhere for three people it has become an issue in the game. We all knew when we started the game that the only way for Chris to play was to play at his house. It was a non issue. I noticed the timing of the issue became one when he started having to drive his family everywhere. I am sympathetic to what he is going through.He is a passanger in the car to the game he is never asked to drive to give him a break. I think he is feeling stressed and maybe resentful over the pressures from his family but feels that he can't really complain so he has made the drive to the game the place to take out his frustrations. There are two seperate issues here. Game and real life. We have been friends for 23 years so I think I can get him to see the real life issues and why he is having it. The game issue is one I am not sure how to handle. First of all he really does not like the DnD system any of them. He likes the Hero system. So I know he gets frustrated with the game rules. Second he likes to play characters that would be the hero of a book and I think lower level play and not being powerful right from the start frustrates him. I know he is basing his bard on a character from a book he read this bard traveled by himself. defeating bandits, evil wizards and a dragon. I think he is frustrated that the rules don't allow him to play this type of character. [/QUOTE]
