[QUOTE="NewJeffCT, post: 5637250, member: 10784"] I've been gaming since the late 70s, and that has been my experience with cross-gender play as well, up to & including when my old group was all in their 30s age-wise. (my current group is all in their 40s, except for 2 guys that are 50 and everybody is playing male PCs) I'd be okay with it if it were done well & done maturely, but I've never actually seen it at the table. I personally think mature & well-done cross-gender role playing is a myth. ;) Back to the original topic - I would never tell somebody that their fighter or barbarian couldn't be as good as another fighter/barbarian because their sex was inherently weaker. (Similarly, on intelligence, wisdom, etc) I have no problem with cultural differences for gender roles, however, be it women are weak & subservient to men, or women are amazons and men are weak and second class. I typically play that women adventurers are less common than male adventurers, but are not at all unheard of or unusual. (Unless it is a cultural thing...) [/QUOTE]
