[QUOTE="Wulf Ratbane, post: 173250, member: 94"] First off, I am glad you enjoyed it enough to read all the way through. It is, as you suspect, the full history of the character. I wouldn't say "peck" rises to the level of slur you imply, but it's certainly a racially-biased insult. Sure, Wulf had it in for the peck from day one. He didn't particularly like Keldas either, or any other elves. He doesn't like paladins. He doesn't like priests. He doesn't care much for wizards. He [i]really[/i] doesn't like bards. Pretty much, he likes DWARVEN WARRIORS-- and to hell with everybody else. I think I've been consistent in displaying that attitude. It's what being a dwarf is all about. Everybody starts out on his bad side, and it takes some time to earn his grudging respect. Halma earned that respect quickly. He was strong, he was brave, he kicked ass. Instant rapport! Keldas took a little longer, but he made it. Same with Dorn-- he's a bit of a mixed bag, but since he spends more time killin' than he does prayin', they get along all right. Now the peck... Well, the peck started off bad, went to worse, turned things around and started to earn Wulf's respect, and then threw it all in the crapper by running around behind his back making deals with the arch-villains. The paladin (whether he believes it or not) has Wulf's respect, and it is obvious from the way that the narrative describes the paladin's actions. Yes, Wulf still likes to get in the occasional dig-- he is a paladin, after all-- but the record speaks for itself. But it should be understood that all of this is completely seperate from any "rules discussions." Wulf [/QUOTE]
