[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 5216112, member: 87792"] OK. She's still on the career track for a non-adventurer (unless she's busy scandalising the town). And for the record, the more experience points you have the more experience points you need to gain a level. The older you are, the more experience (and hence experience points) you have. It's a bad idea. Unless massively foreshadowed. And I'm the one suggesting things that don't involve [I]completely re-writing the NPC[/I]. The player designed the character. At the request of the GM. Not a close relationship now. But certainly one that existed. Bwuh? Not what I said. "Before a GM can re-write significant aspects of the character's past, he should check with the player of the character." And once again you are missing the point. If it had been a GM created NPC with a mysterious past who had been the lich that would have been fine - even (or perhaps especially) if they had interacted with the PCs a lot in the past. Expand slightly. You seem determined to equate "The DM should not put on his viking hat and tear up the player's work when the player has created the NPC" with "The DM should ask permission to use any NPC." Foreshadow the damn secret first. And you seem determined to wreck that trust. As was the storyteller I've had (White Wolf) who saw fit to insert dark deeds into my character's own past - and not of the sort of dark deeds he'd have done. There's no [I]point[/I] submitting background to you on current showing. Because you aren't going to use it colaboratively. You're going to drive a bulldozer over the parts you use and replace it all, keeping only trivial details. [/QUOTE]
