Message: <blockquote data-quote="Limper" data-source="post: 214606" data-attributes="member: 4083">I'm guessing this require's a bit more context.... this is an on going debate in my gaming group and there is much which appears not to seen by my rant (I guess I was thinking you all had telepathy... sorry).I've grown tired of playing what I see as unrealistic characters or the same old neophytes all the time... I'd like to be able to make a character who was better represented in skills , on who had some background... the Leaving Twin Rivers thing has gotten very annoying. I've been working on a system to better represent a complex background for PC's to increase the options for writing up new characters (by the way its in the "I need opinions... " thread I started).My DM is now saying I'm not a good role-player because I can't just role-play background.... I've posted this to garner some feed back and possibly ideas on how to resolve my predicament (quiting leaves me without a social life so I'd prefer ideas OTHER than you need a new group.... but I'll take that as well). I would like more to work with in PC creation. I find it hard to suspend my disbelief that my vetern blacksmith (10 years) who's even by DM backstory helped the defend the town dozens of times. Is incapable of repairing or making things because I have to hit a particular DC and with +5 (total) to my check I cant. True my bonus is low but lvl 1 does that to you.... and I truely think the system needs some better options. Am I the only one who is tired of playing starting characters who have to kill many foes in order to be good at my trade I was supposed to be practicing for a decade AFTER my apprenticeship ended? I dont mind failing but not at something I'm supposed to be good at. Darkness you are so very correct on that one... I just wish one of the skill based systems covered as much ground as d20 and with the same ease of use.... it would also help if I knew anyone playing anything else. I like d20 mechanic's in most aspects.... but it does need some help.I hope this helps.....</blockquote>
