I have had characters with pages of background information and it can also help the DM flesh out a particular area, town, race or neighbourhood in the campaign world, plus give the DM ideas for bringing in some interesting NPC's from your background to either help or hinder you. All of this will in turn effect the way you will roleplay the character. The trouble is when you design a really cool background and even pluck up the courage to do a voice and maybe mannerisms too, during a gaming session and then have the character die afater only a couple of sessions. Then you have to start all over again. I think that this may be one of the reasons that people may not get too involved in a character for fear of loosing it too quickly. And also why people tend to want to try out new characters rather then getting them raised as they have not built up an attachment to the character and thus feel no reason to bother with it any further after it has been killed. Any further thoughts out there....Cheers !!!<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
