[QUOTE="ThoughtBubble, post: 826784, member: 9723"] I believe that he's referring to the adventurer with with no family, no friends, no enemies, and no goals who sits in a room in the inn reading all day. It's amasing how many of the people who consider themselves in it for the characters that I've DMed for have a tendancy to make that character. Maybe it has soemthing to do with playing with friends getting computer degrees. But I've also got a wizard that, if he had the stats for his playstyle would be a barbarian1/rouge2 right now. As a wizard, he does the most horriffically suicidal things ever (Charging into every battle but one so far, single handedly trying to save the rouge from a group of 4 orcs, jumping off a bridge into the river to try and rescue the fighter), but it's also heroic and he's got a character with loads of personality. And I love it. I love the rock solid guy without much personality, but who's always there too. It's just the LN cleric who goes into hiding when something happens, and is typically dragged along with the party, and the CN warrior who is defined by his apathy towards everything that suck. I guess, in the end, I have no problem with a weak character concept as long as the player has no problems accepting the consiquences of being weak. But when the cleric asks for a Knowledge(herbalism) then complains the skill is worthless, it gets on my nerves. So, Dark Eternal, what exactly did you do with your stat points on the one HP wizard. What all did you need to try to survive? And did it make your wizard more memorable? Was he fun (or at least not a giant pain in the ass) for the DM? [/QUOTE]
