DnD Warlord
Adventurer
In 4e we had a guy playing a genisi warlord (our first warlord) and for 2 games straight he played her like a drill Sargent then out of nowhere mid tow he switched her to be a big softy... back on the road and she was back to being hard and mean and nasty... even her inspiring words were always “no time to nap get back in there” type things... until she had to heal herself one day... when it turned into “don’t let them see you hurt...you got this.”I don't see it being an issue as long as the person playing the character is respectful. There's a guy at my table who is playing a hard nosed war veteran who's female. A real bad ass character. He steers clear of anything sexual because that would just be weird. I'm lucky to have such a great group at the table.
It was the most nuanced character he had ever played... we finally asked him why and he said “women aren’t like us they are complex”.
mover the years make or female we often remind him “complex characters”
