[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 8274109, member: 29398"] Not direct copies, but I have now and then done what I'd call indirect copies: take a very similar concept to a well-liked (by me anyway) older character and see where it goes in a new campaign. My arguably-best character ever was originally intended to be a 3e reincarnation of one of my more interesting 1e characters, only before long she'd blown the old 1e character out of the water in terms of just how much sheer fun she was to play. And in a total twist of irony or whatever, while that 3e character hasn't been seen in well over a decade the original 1e character has resurfaced and her next in-play session is Monday... :) Another of my current characters has as his hero an old, famous, long-dead and very similar (same race, class, deity, etc.) PC of mine in the same campaign/setting; the new one is slowly in process of outdoing the old one in every way but he doesn't quite realize this yet.
