[QUOTE="Retreater, post: 8529080, member: 42040"] I don't begrudge people playing whatever characters they want - unless they're doing it to annoy the other players or be problematic in other ways. In which case, it's not their character - it's the player being a jerk. One of my most fun, memorable characters was a gully dwarf who was terribly ineffective at most things. However, he was good at sneaking and gathering intel because he usually passed unnoticed. He just wasn't bright enough to interpret the intel in a meaningful way, so the other characters would have to make sense of what he saw. "There's a door. There's a group of more than two people standing around the door. They're not really doing anything though. They're not going into the door and not knocking on it." "So there's guards?" "Why would they be guarding a door? A door would be hard to steal. I could try, but someone would have to help me carry it." [/QUOTE]
