[QUOTE="Blaque, post: 2802340, member: 37689"] I often have atleast a couple backups for my characters, in case the current character dies horribly (almost happened last game session, damn disintigrating traps), or if I find the character just is not pulling their weight and not that enjoyable, depending ont he DM. It also is a thing where I like to draw my characters. And well, eventually, I want to draw soemthing else, get into going into the character's background and thinking "That's be a cool character" and all that jazz. Right now, I have the following backups: Game 1 - Current Character: Druid avener hunter killer sort of loony. - Backup One: Kobold artificer with hommunculli managery, magic shop, and followers. - Backup Two: Dread necromancer with warmage bodyguard, and horde of undead minions. Game 2 - Current Character: Kalashtar psychic warrior ass-kicker. I'm not too worried of him dying though. Still, just in case... - Backup One: Half-daelkyr ranger/impure prince, for ickiness:) But yeah. Half of the time its just so I can draw something neat, admitedly. Still fun to do:) In games other hten D&D, it also helps if you end up having to run a game. A few of my backup PCs in Exalted games have found their way as NPCs in games I've run. Ummm, and stuff:) [/QUOTE]
