Message: <blockquote data-quote="wingsandsword" data-source="post: 5478000" data-attributes="member: 14159">*sigh*I once had to put up with one of these in a Planescape game (since it was at least vaguely plausible that a Kender could end up on the Outer Planes).After a few sessions, whenever anybody in the party found anything missing, the standard operating procedure was to grab the Kender, hold said Kender in the air, invert Kender, and shake liberally until the desired item (among many others) fell to the ground.  All while the Kender is complaining IG that she doesn't understand why everybody is getting upset, and the player is vehemently reminding everyone that Kender inherently have no sense of personal property so they inherently can't see anything wrong with pickpocketing and can never be taught otherwise.My cliche:Mr. I-Want-To-Be-Different:  The player who wants their character to be completely and totally different than anything else in the game, without regards for setting or style.  Playing a Mage game?  They'll want to be a Werewolf or Vampire then.  Playing Forgotten Realms?  They'll want an excuse to play a Warforged.  Playing Dragonlance?  They'll want to play an Athasian Mul Gladiator.  Playing in a quasi-historic game in medieval England?  They'll want to be a Samurai or Ninja.  Playing a Star Wars campaign set in the Old Republic?  They'll want to play a Yuuzhan Vong deep-cover undercover scout.  (The person this most applies to is the same one who wanted to play a Kender, the game was originally Forgotten Realms before it went Planar, but he wasn't allowed to bring a Kender in until it went Planar and was at least remotely plausible to do so.)</blockquote>
