[QUOTE="MichaelK, post: 4846784, member: 60635"] I'm exactly the same. I'm currently on character number 5... (no wait, six)... in a group where most people were still on their first character until a few weeks ago (when we suffered a near TPK). It's not so much that I get bored, once I get a character that I like I'll stick with them through thick and thin. It's just a matter that I often make characters who I just don't enjoy playing. It takes a few sessions for me to be sure, by which time the character is usually a part of the group and the other players get annoyed if they leave. For example I really enjoyed the last character I was playing who died a few sessions ago. My new character is really boring to play because they are extremely overpowered. He can solve every problem that gets thrown at the group and he solves them with the same ability every time. But he's already become the leader of the group and absolutely essential to the group's functioning. Our current quest is entirely built around this character and if he were to leave we wouldn't be able to succeed or have any current goals. So now I'm in a catch 22 situation. Keep playing a character that bores me to tears or pretty much screw up the game if I chose to play someone new. [/QUOTE]
