[QUOTE="Joseph Lieberman, post: 6798396, member: 6810503"] Thanks @[I][B][U][URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=6806321"]mgshamster[/URL][/U][/B][/I] - Nobody took the Appendix A backgrounds - in part because I didnt even notice them until after everyone rolled a character (Woops!) The Silver Draconian Fighter is an Outlander The Dwarf Barbarian is a Noble (lets not overthink that one!) The Half-Elf Fighter is an Entertainer (Hence his move into Bard) The Dwarf Cleric and the Human Monk are both Acolytes I've certainly enjoyed ensuring their written flaws are being adhered to, though the brand new player (Draconian) keeps mixing up the idea of "Survival of the Fittest" with "Kill things weaker than me" - We were all there once :) I was very proud of her (my daughter) when she nailed the RP and was arguing to murder the traders they encountered and take their stuff. She convinced the Barbarian but apparently our table runs a democracy :D EDIT: WTH - you've got like 20 NPCs? Our table ends up in all kinds of trouble when I allow such things :) Last time I let them use Pathfinder's Leadership ability they were trying to convince me to allow them all to hire a squad of halfling sorcerers with nothing but magic missile and stick them all into some giant Dungeons and Dragons Katyusha rocket launcher. ([url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katyusha_rocket_launcher[/url]) I give them points for creativity when it comes to powergaming :P - It lead to a very long and somewhat ongoing debate of what a war would actually look like in a d20 setting (and yes I know, such a tactic would mean everyone would have the shield spell up at all times... trust me we've gone down this rabbit hole and it isn't pretty.)
