[QUOTE="4sticks, post: 2501985, member: 23378"] Alright, I'm game. I've played in Connors campaigns for a number of years now... (about 8 years now Connors! Damn, it HAS been a while! :) ) Before playing with Connors, I was never really in a group that had much focus on the 'role' aspect of the game. Treasure and XP was important, and if we played in that same style today, we'd probably sit at or above the recomended treasure levels. My all-time favourite character in one of Connors' campaigns is a 6th level wemic ranger. At 6th level, his magic items consists of a +1 dagger, a magic battle-axe (that he isn't proficient with and never uses), and a ring of fire resistance. He has just recently picked up a magic spear (his weapon of choice), but doesn't yet know how powerful it is. For a long time, his wealth consisted of the clothing on his back, and a single copper piece. Yep, that's right. No silver or gold. No gems or jewellery. Now I know that rangers aren't geared towards accumulating great wealth, and are only supposed to carry all their worldy possessions with them, but even if this wasn't the case, nothing would have changed for this character. Material possessions just aren't a priority for him. I can honestly say that if my ranger had magic and money thrown at him, it would cheapen my enjoyment of his adventures. It's probably a pretty dodgy example, but MacGyver wouldn't have been so great if he came equiped with everything he needed to handle a situation. Sometimes the real challenge of the adventure is making the square peg fit into the round hole. :) cheers blair [/QUOTE]
