[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 4469274, member: 2205"] I'm crossposting this same question in a lot of places, because I'm getting some fun discussion and the more ideas, the better. I'm not trying to be [i]too[/i] strict about it, but the somewhat useless, hopeless, spineless man about town a la Bertie Wooster is the inspiration for my latest Call of Cthulhu character. I rolled his stats in order, and it worked out fairly well (although his INT and EDU were probably a lot better than they should be if I were actually Bertie Wooster---that's to compensate for the fact that no one else in the group elected to be Jeeves.) Anyway, like I said, not to strictly stick to a canon interpretation of old Bertram, just an "inspired by" kind of character. How would you roleplay such a bally chap yourselves? Keep in mind that my Sanity (again, rolled organically) is only 35... not real good. I've kinda summed the character up by the following quote: "Pull yourself together, man! Stiff upper lip and all that, what? I will admit that this fishy fellow is barmy enough, but the only time I've ever known true terror was as a lad at Eton playing soggy biscuit." [/QUOTE]
