[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 4841277, member: 22779"] I can definitely see this. I cannot count the number of orphans I've seen players create, but, man, if those who want to decry D&D as evil ever needed ammo, they should take a look at some of the parental issues. :p The whole antagonistic DM thing certainly didn't help. Does anyone use Life Path creation systems? And, if so, can you point me in the direction? I like the idea, although, the only one I used was from Traveler and that was WAYYYY too long. I'm wondering if there are any life path chargen systems for fantasy games. I haven't found one. In case you don't know what I mean, a lifepath chargen system is a set of tables, usually with some degree of randomness, that you consult for each set period (a year, a few years, whatever) of time to determine what the PC did before you start the campaign. Thinking about it though, I'm not sure how well this would work for D&D - D&D PC's tend to be very young, and, with the xp system the way it is, it doesn't make too much sense for my first level fighter to have been a soldier for five years. But, anyway, is there a system out there I could take a gander at? [/QUOTE]
