And... you have been provided with ample and repeated possibilities. And you have offered no substantive argument for their rejection other than a very apparent personal bias which essentially amounts to "uh-uh." Multiple people have given multiple options, and most (I'll agree not all) have...

EXACTLY! The inordinate attention that W&H gave him really turned me off to the whole world of Krynn. Of course, it didn't help that the characters I actually did take a liking to died: Sturm, dead. Flint, dead. I never wanted to say it, but I loved Tika (though that was probably mostly due to...

Two things that come to mind that might help address complacency. The first, which wouldn't require any house rules: roll all Death Saves secretly. Yes, they still have 3 rounds to react, but a lot can slow down characters in three rounds, and not knowing how their companion is faring on each of...

I wouldn't worry too much Mistwell. He seems to do that, based on the fact that he randomly blocked me for... who knows, since to the best of my knowledge I haven't ever directly replied to him about anything. Some people just are going to be offended. Their loss.

For me it's the good ol' Rod of Lordly Might. Love that thing! Power, versatility, and just cool.

Don't forget the frequency of using Arms Law from Rolemaster as critical hit tables! Always an interesting amalgam there...

Burroughs, Edgar Rice 8 Dunsany, Lord 10 Lieber, Fritz 9 Tolkien, J.R.R. 9 Williamson, Jack 2 Zelazny, Roger 7 So we're in the endgame now... New day, new vote. Final day?

And in this self-appointed role in the present thread... "Physician heal thyself."

Pretty much this. I mean, it's the anti-profs saying things like this: And seriously, that's just petty. When you are calling him great and still insisting on down voting him because of an Internet argument, there's no other way I know how to describe it. A whole lot of you guys are seriously...

Burroughs, Edgar Rice 14 Carter, Lin 4 Dunsany, Lord 13 Leiber, Fritz 11 Tolkien, J.R.R. 13 Wellman, Manley Wade 4 Williamson, Jack 12 Zelazny, Roger 9 A new day, another vote! Had to beat the haters in!;)

Easy guys. Let's face it, based upon how people are voting, most of the people still in this thread are being disingenuous. Anyone claiming Tolkien was not a significant influence is quantifiably wrong. That said, he is consistently getting downvotes because people have axes to grind or just...

Ah, but that is why I included the qualifier "actual". Because in the example of our barbarian, would argue that there is no actual conflict. Much of the supposed conflict seems to be manufactured, to my mind. His fluff did not impact anything outside of his character. Claims that he is...

Absolutely. If there is an actual conflict.

I would also point out that these are not mutually exclusive. Unless the PCs are all supposed to be from the same town or something along those lines, by and large most of the individual personalizations of a characters background do not impact the ensemble in any negative way. They remain a...
