Message: <blockquote data-quote="Creamsteak" data-source="post: 344176" data-attributes="member: 552">Just an example of figuring out your characters attitude and merits after you do his stat-block:I recently made a Psionic warrior with one of the biggest munchkin abilities I've ever used, which allowed me to mind-blast (albeit at the cost of ability points). I really played up the mind-over body element in game, and made sure everyone payed attention to just how serious I was, and how taxing the process was for me. During the second game session, I pulled out my Call of Cthulu book for no-apparent reason, and decided that since my character had drained his wisdom to 1 and been brought back 3 times in 1 day now, I was going to take a little insanity upon myself to make up for it. Through my munchy little mind blasts, I decided that my character would likely drive himself beyond crazy, and I applied that to my role-playing. I also adapted the crazed sensations to include being very over-confident that he can overcome physical limitations through mental discipline. I now meditate, fast, and study every chance I get, thereby increasing the playing qualities of my theme, meanwhile, I'm the parties 3rd best mage, and 3rd best fighter (of 5, making me the balanced middle man).</blockquote>
