It's not like a written house rule or anything."No real problem" in the sense that the gender switch has never been the cause of bad play. A bad Player is a bad Player, regardless of his/her character's gender, race, or class.The only stumble in it is the occasional "he/she" or "him/her" gaff in referencing the character. Usually I and the other Players get it straight after a couple game sessions with the Player/character difference. Interestingly, in my current group we have a boyfriend/girlfriend pair who have different gender characters. I still goof up the pronoun with their characters even after four or five sessions. *shrug* Sometimes I forget the tall guy's character is only 3' tall, too.Its times like this that I especially like having the PCs represented as minis on the battle grid -- helps me visualize the character.Quasqueton</blockquote>
