[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7607161, member: 20564"] So when crafting Jillian's personality, I really ran with the halfling's Fearless racial ability - Jillian just didn't have fear. Didn't mean he rushed into things - he was canny and would try and come at things from the best angle, but he never had a doubt they'd win. Amusingly he had the lowest HP and AC in the group, and twice he went from full to unconcious with non-crit attacks against him. We all started as members of a larger adventuring guild, and the DM had us come up with three rumors about our character that the others had heard before the start of play, two of which were true. One of mine was that I had lead an different team from the guild into such trouble that I was the only survivor. He was a non-standard bard in a few ways, and not that he didn't seduce anyone. :) He didn't care about his personal fame, and most of the time was making up songs for the aggrandizement first of the adventuring guild (The Golden Dragons - a more fitting name then we knew), then the group itself, then the King and Kingdom of Pal. At one point we got wiped out by a a blue dragon -- one of our nemesissies (thanks [MENTION=14349]Len[/MENTION]) -- using these legendary artifacts called Dragonstones - one for each color dragon that grew with them since birth and could only be taken by killing the dragon. We later found out he had not just the Blue dragonstone, but also the silver, brass and bronze. Anyway, it was a "planned TPK" because a benefactor intervened and we ended up going to this limbo-like place where we had to face seven trials. One for each party member, focusing on their specifics weaknesses. (Not mechanical, but personal desires.) So we had out own Hero of a Thousand Faces part. Or as I always call it since I say Babylon 5: "If you go to Z'ha'dum, you will die." [/QUOTE]
