[QUOTE="IronWolf, post: 5214990, member: 21076"] Yeah - I was up with it until the "turning the mom into a lich" thing. That seems a might bit over the top. I'm all for character backgrounds being used by characters and for a DM working those into the overall campaign. The campaign world is a changing place, so when I create backgrounds I am fully aware that if my travels take me away from people I have listed in my background that the world very well might impact them. People pass, villages or cities come under attack due to the dynamics in that part of the world, etc. Or maybe family or NPCs from the past rise in power and good things happen to them. So I am fine with the DM having the advancing timeline of the world affect things in my backstory in current campaign day. The lich example comes a little out of the blue to me though. Now if I had written that my mother dabbled in magic and sorcery and seems to have a bit of mental madness to them, then I *could* see that ending up as a mother that is a lich! ;) [/QUOTE]
