[QUOTE="LegionError121, post: 6975591, member: 6870641"] Thank You for the good advice :) To me, it sounds a lot like your saying Mar is a bit overclocked with detail and has some major issues :) One of the things about her being evil is that as long as she has work :) She would play along as a good guy e.g. need to save princess? She'll help you get that done without ruining things for you :) It's only if she's left to her own devices that she would be evil, as in, on her own :) I guess I need to rethink her moral stance to suit that more rebelious/punk style without having to a be a dick 24/7 :) Good to know that playing Evil characters is a bit dodgey as well because I was going to make a complete ass of a Jester/Rougue who went around in the night and killed people, blackmailed and generally acted as a complete lunatic as he doesn't need to sleep :) Lastly :) I have looked at the rules a bit, watched some videos BUT I am struggling to work out what freedoms I could have for using my own ideas :) I imagine things like Mages who can destroy a town with giant spells :) I think of things such as Boosts to Rolls because I want to reward risk with more results :) I would like to keep Mar as my character but I don't want to change her too much because I feel that making her totally different would make her "not Mar" :) I simply want to reach outwards but still have a character who is accepted for bringing something interesting to a fight :) At one point, I wanted to create a Clearic that could use her own Health Points to heal allies but I was worried that the experiance might become stale because part of the fun of D&D (I think) is having to worry about things like potions and having a character who can basically stand there, use her healing like she's some kind of battery only to restore all of her health to continue with a bajillion potions that her team have given her because she does all of the healing anyways would take away from that diversity of options :) Would you mind suggesting a few ideas I could try to build up on? :) I'm hoping to try and make something a bit more unique than "I played "Don't Fear The Reaper" on my Fife as I watched my allies died to the undead" :) [/QUOTE]
