[QUOTE="Lanliss, post: 6935541, member: 6801219"] 1) Comic relief depends on just how they play the character. If they play it seriously, maybe like a once great warrior who was weakened, but is still trying his best to live up to his reputation, I can take him seriously. 2) as a character, almost the same, but it also depends on established connections. An old friend who needs help coming back from a curse or injury, I would definitely allow them in. Random merc that no one has ever heard of, maybe not. All depends on the set up. 3) It depends on how the party is playing. If the STR 20 fighter likes daggers and bows, that 20 won't help much. Assuming they are playing to their strengths though, no, he would not be able to keep up in a 1-to-1 damage fight, but he might help in other ways. Maybe while the two tanks fight the baddies, the newcomer works to free hostages, or set up obstacles to hinder other enemies.
