[QUOTE="Shiroiken, post: 8279357, member: 6775477"] My first actual character was a 1E paladin. I don't think I actually rolled the 17 cha, but thing the DM might have fudged it for me. I had a mediocre career until level 4, where my brother (who wanted me out of the game) challenged me to a duel. He was an illusionist, and I was completely unaware of what illusions were and how they worked. This led to the death of my character, when he fell unconscious believing himself slain, and my brother walked up and slit my throat. Rather than get me out of the game, I became fascinated with the magic system and made a magic-user. My first significantly memorable character was Laurianna, a 1E Half-Elf Druid/Thief. Originally a man named Mad Dog, he was hit by a curse that changed his sex (high school game, and the DM wanted to embarrass me). At first I tried to find a way to reverse it, spending a lot of gold in the process, but eventually accepted my fate and I leaned into it as a player. While her career as a Druids was limited, she became an excellent thief, even stealing a prized magic item two players coveted (each paying me more and more to steal it back for them). Eventually she married one of the PCs, and helped the party defeat a time traveling mage before he rewrote reality, becoming a demigod under Ehlonna in the process. [/QUOTE]
