Message: <blockquote data-quote="john112364" data-source="post: 5050154" data-attributes="member: 86837">My first character has a convoluted begining. My very first character was in 1979 1ed. He was a 1st level half elven thief. I will never forget my first game because we were fighting a bear and my thief pulled out his sling (because even as a newbie I knew that I didn't want to stab this bear with a sword). I remember one of the (slghtly) more experienced players sneering at my sling. ("A sling? What's that going to do?") As it turns out, my little sling bullet was the killing blow. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /> (Ha!) I was hooked! Unfortunately, the DM liked to keep the character sheets for safekeeping... and misplaced my thief. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" /> Oh well now I got to roll up a new one. This one was a human magic-user (with a sleep spell!) After sleep spelling the alligators (don't ask.) the game ended. Next week the DM said he found my thief. Now I had a problem. I liked both my characters. They both had very memorable moments in my first two games. So my DM came up with a solution: since it was his fault that I had two characters he would let me merge them into a multiclass half elven magic user/thief! (To this day this is still my favorite multiclass combo.) This character not only lived to level up, he thrived. He made it up to 5/6 (or 7) in that campaign and I used him him several otherr games over the years. I even used his as an NPC in my own game from time to time. So I said that my first character lived to level even though he wasn;t completely the same character I started with. Wow. I miss those inocent days. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
