[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 7493224, member: 2525"] You can choose take offense while not answering the core question of my post all you want. But it's still there waiting for you to answer it. I am not saying you "have" to do anything and I am not in any way being negative. If you really don't want to do something, then don't do it. But, I am encouraging you and others to try. You're a good enough DM to not only make any concept "work" in your setting, but to make it thrive and likely better your setting for pushing you to imagine something different you had never considered before. You can do it! Why is my saying "you can handle whatever background your players throw at you and be awesome," a bad thing? I mean hey, if a player throws you a serious curve ball and you don't have a quick answer for how that could work in your setting, that's perfectly understandable. We all run into challenges like that sometimes. So, my advice is just tell the player you will think about it, and then work on it for a while. And if you're really stuck, just post about it here and see what others think about how to make that concept work. I bet someone will have an imaginative inspiration that will spark your imagination as well, and find a great way to fit it in your setting. [/QUOTE]
