His bio is a mix of Homer stuff with just about every Bronze era action movie cliche ever- went to war, lost, sold into gladitorial slavery, 3rd in command of slave revolt, returned home to find home mysteriously vanished, traveling to find out what happened/cause he (I) doesn't know what else to do at this point, is sticking around this campaign so long cause he detests slavery.I'd like to avoid magic stuff with this character- if I start heading in that direction, I think I'd be better served asking the dm to have a worm eat him and starting over. I'm not the type of player where most powerful=more fun  (I think the role playing stuff is more fun, this technical stuff feels like to much work). I want challenge, just maybe not the challenge of falling behind other characters in physical damage dished out. Our half-orc is more of what I guess is termed a "tank" fighter, and I think it'd be cool to be the more mobile fighter (our rogue and ranger tend to stick more to ranged attacks) so I think there's a place for me there. Once things get really "epic" I wouldn't mind taking a back seat to the casters in combat if I can find a way to up the rp moments with my dm (and from what I know of this campaign, we'll be fighting large groups of creatures for a while, so there should be soldiers and stuff to fight.)thanks for your responses.</blockquote>
