[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 7362368, member: 29398"] Let me chuck an example out there of how this concept-vs.-reality thing can and does work in practice: In our Saturday game I play a magic-user these days with Int 19 (a big deal in 1e which in theory caps at 18). She considers herself the smartest person in the party, if not the town, and maybe the world, as her rather inflated ego will not have it any other way. Yet as fate would have it [B]there's an even smarter character in the party[/B]! Does this stop my character from thinking (and claiming) she's the smartest and operating on that basis? Hell, no - she just pooh-poohs this other character's claims of being smarter and carries on with her day. Concept 1, Character-sheet-reality 0. Lan-"the one time I play a Lawful character I get stuck in a party whose average alignment other than mine is roughly Chaotic Greedy"-efan [/QUOTE]
