[QUOTE="ccs, post: 7154736, member: 6803664"] I beg to differ. I most definitely have a character without a name. On the Name: ______? There's a /. It's actually just a random mark that didn't get erased when I reused the character sheet. OTHER people in the group assumed the characters name was "Slash". Some people figured I'd named him after the guy from Guns & Roses. In almost 30 years though (I) have never referred to the character by any name. I just state that I do/say _____. In truth? He's not named after Slash of G&R. Nor was I aiming for a Clint Eastwood style "Man-With-No-Name" character. His name (or lack of) isnt even on par with how Melf (Male Elf) us said to have been named. That at least took effort. I just didn't name the character because it was for a one-shot adventure. What his name was wasn't important, & wasn't going to be needed in the future. Hell, even the adventure wasn't going to be remembered. Or if it was it'd be as "oh yeah, that week you couldn't make it Jim ran a one-off dungeon crawl". Except after that one shot "/'s" character sheet got tucked into the back of the folder. And the next time we did a one off? It got pulled out & used again. And again. And again.... Because if the character was the right lv for the one shot in question it was faster than making yet another character (even in 1e/2e). But to this day I've not named him. [/QUOTE]
