How long have you been playing your character?

[Mystic_23]

I put 6 months to a year, because one of my current characters has been played that long. He's a dwarf barbarian1/cleric 5/runecaster 9. I'm just about to finish off his runecaster levels (probably will level the next time we play) and that'll be it for runecaster until we get to epic level (when he'll probably begin epic runecaster levels...)

The other character I'm currently playing is a level 4 human monk. We just started playing this game last month. So far, it's been fun playing a monk. We'll see how it goes as he gains levels.

MarauderX: Care to tell everyone how Corom died? Heh heh. It was a sad fate for the party wiz. Well, that's what happens when you're a flatliner.

I've had some times when my character went into negative HP, but I've been lucky to make sure someone is looking out for me, ie, die only when you know the Athar (anti-cleric from Dragon mag) is willing to True Res you. Or when the rogue is well stocked with CLW potions and standing behind you.

My favorite, and longest lived character, is Ashrem Bayle, my character in our online Wheel of Time game.

Been about a year and half, and he is only 3rd level.

I still play my very first character, Norman, a human fighter... I just played him last night, actually. I've been playing him for nine years last month, started in 1st edition, skipped 2nd, and he's 3E now. And after 9 years, he's a 12th level fighter/2nd level planar champion.

Oldest character: Lukan Mak Nihl (also known as ''Wulfgar'' -- a nom de guerre -- almost a decade before Icewind Dale was a squirt from someone's pen and the name was almost ruined for me), played for 23 years. Started as a 1e Gaelic barbaric fighter, converted to 2e as a barbarian, 17th level at any rate, earned the old-fashioned way...over the broken bloodied corpses of the enemies of mankind.



And he only died once.




...he got better.




Stupid dragons.

Um, not sure what happened really, except for rolling reeeaaaallyy low about 4 times in a row, two of them being 1's, right in a row of course. Yeah, you can loose a 3rd level character that way pretty quickly when you get tagged by four of the 50+ spirits that drain levels dancing around a room we were trying to cross. So did I learn anything from it? Nope, I did the same thing with the bard too, only didn't roll so retardedly.

In the long run it won't matter too much (as long as I don't kill any more PCs in the campaign) as the PC will always be only 1 level behind at most times. But it won't stop me from uttering my new mantra as the bard - "Nobody die. Seriously, they won't like it. Not one bit."
