[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7493251, member: 6919838"] I did not state it was an equivalent to your training whatsamagoo. it is simply not true that PC fluff doesn't call into question the rest of the world. A group can choose t ignore it... can ignore whatever amount of continuity they want. it can be done... nobody objects to that... but the strong smear being put forth of "but why would you..." kind of stuff begs the question. let me put it another way - if something happened that only ever and can play ever happen to your PC and nobody else ever can have it happen again - then by DEFINITION you are building a PC that does not fit the setting. bringing in a character which does not fit the setting should be something a player and Gm can discuss without the Gm being thrown under the "if you dont let me you arent a good gm" bus or demanded to go thru a lot of hoops to explain why in the world his world is so fragile and all that jazz. "this character does not fit the setting by your own statement of its completely unique nature." should be sufficient. the post i made and the carrot was simply a direct example case to rebut this statement made below... "[COLOR=#333333][I]But then I question why they would necessarily want to do that. I argue that if it is about the PC, it really cannot alter the world much if the PC is an exception and if the DM desires, the only exception." [/I][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
