[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 8279096, member: 29398"] My first-ever character was memorable enough: a (randomly rolled at extreme odds) Crown Prince from an off-world realm. Whcih meant that a) his honour was not to be besmirched and b) he was used to being treated like royalty i.e. if he said jump the only response should be how high. Mechanically he was a "heavy" Ranger, plate-clad and ready to tank. Well, b) went out the window in a hurry. Adventurers don't much like being told what to do by a newcomer, as you might well imagine. For a) to get hit took a bit longer; he was seduced - somewhat against his will - by a wanton other PC (I wasn't there at the time). Well, this wouldn't do, and given that for my whole life my word had been the law if my father wasn't around I had no problem with making myself judge, jury and executioner. So - one dead hussy later - I was put to drumhead trial by the rest of the party and hanged from a tree until dead. As for the OP's bonus-point question: given how badly Rangers have been butchered as the editions have gone by I'm not sure I [I]could[/I] build a true heavy Ranger in the current game. [/QUOTE]
