[QUOTE="Drawmack, post: 373711, member: 4981"] [color=white] I read a book that did something like this. The title and author escape me right now but I will look them up and post them tonight when I get home. The guy was the king. Then the villians stole his identity. How they did this was to find a vagabond and stick the king's consciousness into his body, put the evil guy's persona into the king and put the vagabonds persona into the evil guy. Then they blank the kings mind. He remembers his name, how to walk and stuff like that but has no conscious memories. He still remembers how to do everything he could do before, but he doesn't remember what he could do before. Slowly he gets his memories back. Once he has his memories back he has to reclaim his throne, but how exactly can he do that when he doesn't look like the king and someone who does is sitting on the throne? Just a possible idea for you. Here is how I would recommend playing it regardless. Make up a complete character of whatever level you were before you lost you memories. Then the GM gets that character sheet and you don't get to see it again. The GM uses it for skill checks. For example if you have 10 ranks in hide then in the campaign you have a reason to hide the GM would use those 10 ranks and not whatever you have written on your sheet currently. Then to gain stuff back after you do something a couple of times taht you could do you ''remember'' that you could do it before, hence getting your old stat back. It will make maintaining the level of the character a nightmare but not impossible. Also it will be up to the GM to work parts of your memory into getting those skills back. [/color] [/QUOTE]
