[QUOTE="Bad Paper, post: 2693335, member: 24674"] My most munchkin-y PC (wizard/rogue) is also the one that has died three times. What can I say? Sometimes trying to be efficient and slick is disastrous. Out of my four recent PCs (wiz/rog, bard, cleric, and ran/mon/wiz), the gnomish bard has surprised me as being the most hardy and most fun to play. I don't think he's ever been dropped in combat. And wow is CG turning out to be a fun alignment! The rest of my PCs are ultra-boring true neutral. Since this game is about having fun and embracing death and all that, forget about trying to build an unkillable character: you will be too worried to have fun. Make up something that you regard as a stupid throwaway (as I had previously felt about gnomish bards), and then you will find yourself happily surprised when he kicks ass, not in the powergame sense, but in the lots-of-fun sense. Incidentally, how the heck can you have a PC [b]four levels[/b] behind the rest of the group? The XP system is designed to pull laggers up very quickly. [/QUOTE]
