It has been said that we are all bound by our experiences. They are the limits of our consciousness. An adventurer with no past is like a newborn babe, lacking the experiences necessary to survive without constant care and assistance. If the backstory is more elaborate than a sentence or two...

Now that the Artificer has gone there's only one class left to get rid of before I have to bow out and become a spectator. Stabbity death on Duskblade! You were the class that sounded cool and failed to deliver!

Oh good, I'm not alone. Seanaci responded. :D

On the threadjohn? :heh:

I'll dispute. Fay, meaning a faerie, appears to come from old French fae or faie, from Latin fata 'the Fates', plural of fatum. That's still listed in all the dictionaries I own that show the etymology of their words. It would appear there is indeed some academic dispute to your claim, if...

Randomly is fine. Maybe the Gandalf-like figure of the setting likes to travel, and runs into the PCs in unexpected places as a result? It's when he always shows up at just the right "convenient" moments (giving the PCs a clue right after they find the puzzle, saving the PCs from a tough...

Hmm, or he could be an "el-remmen". ;)

Humans. Just look at those meatbags. And yet they make such excellent cannon fodder... :p

Is thread-crapping really necessary here?

I don't know where it was, BOZ, but I'm digging fusangite's definition of fay. I don't really think of most of the spirits from Japanese folklore as being fay, but their nature is definitely a fey one. (If I'm confusing you, look up fay and fey in a good dictionary.) Oriental Adventures has...

This is always a fun tactic, isn't it? :]

Hmm, nope. Didn't get my attention. :uhoh: d6 Star Wars sounds like something I want to use more and more every time I hear about it. Sorry it didn't work out so well for you. Sounds like there's a good GM in the making, though. :cool:

Oooh, Kirinke had a birthday! Congrats! :D Edit: Hmm, I think that's the first time I've tried to fire off two legitimate posts with less than 30 seconds in between them. Am I turning into another Crothian, or was it just a one-time occurrence?

Heheh. I wonder when this will happen in one of my games.

Or worse... :uhoh:

It's very important to avoid making them a DMPC. The aasimar I mentioned is crucial to the plot of the Age of Elements series, but in much the same way as Gandalf, Belgarath, and many other such powerful wizardly types. He isn't the one who goes out and does all the amazing stuff, he's just...

A cookie? How about a cake? :D

Ugh, no! You're getting your Eberron in my Homebrew! Icky! :(

QFT. I can't count the horrendously high number of times a readied action has gone wasted while I was sitting at the gaming table.

One or two low stats can be a good roleplaying opportunity. High stats are generally better than low stats, though. It's Dungeons & Dragons, not Fields & Farmers.
