Beowulf (c. 700 AD) is the one true work of literature. All other versions are a pale imitation of the real thing.

Have you never heard the phrase "turn the other cheek" or "forgive and forget"?Maldor said:remimber if someones being a dick to you you should be a dick to them
Careful - I'm sure discussion of religion ("turn the other cheek" vs "an eye for an eye") is against the rulesLonePaladin said:One last thing.

LonePaladin said:If I ask my players to come up with some back-story, and one of them uses amnesia as a cop-out, he's essentially telling me that he doesn't CARE what his character's history is. This character didn't just appear out of nowhere, living in a vacuum; he's got family, childhood friends, and all the things he did to acquire the skills and abilities he possesses. If someone's not willing to do ANY work on that — even just a couple paragraphs will do, I'm not asking for a novella — while everyone else at the table put forth such an effort, that player should expect the DM to throw in elements he may not have requested.
Nieboh said:The thing I don't understand about this entire thread is the idea that somehow an "amnesiac" back story is a cop-out (really what I don't understand is that a DM would allow it to be a cop-out). I know as DM I would never allow "My character has amnesia" to be the entire backstory. OK, the character has amnesia...fine. He also had a life before that, certainly there was some sort of traumatic event which caused the amnesia, and possibly he's been doing stuff since he had amnesia. Get to writing.
As was stated earlier...the character has amnesia, not the player.
Napftor said:However, just this past weekend I created a bard character with amnesia for Paizo's Pathfinder campaign. I dutifully read the campaign primer provided but decided on amnesia just for the comedic aspects.
