[QUOTE="spectre72, post: 1561342, member: 18885"] We have a player like this and recently he tried to play an Orc something or other. Well for an introduction for the character we were moving through the woods in an area infested by humanoids (which are at war with everyone in the campaign world we play in) and my monk is scouting for the party. "You see an orc hiding behind a tree" says the GM "I sneak up behind it" (using my exceptional hide/move silently skills) "The Orc doesn't seem to notice you" says the GM "I attack with a flurry of blows" says I 3 Hits, one being a critical later and the introduction is over and the potential PC is laying on the ground dying - I think I hit it after it was down just to make sure it was dead :] . Our group is somewhat unique in my experience in that we will not blindly accept drow, orcs, ...etc. into the party just because someone is playing them. Sometimes it is done through role playing and sometimes ROLL PLAYING, but they never seem to make it into play. Afterwards when asked why he had created an Orc character the player said "Because it would have been cool"... There were no hard feelings, but after we explained the problem he didn't try quite as wierd a combination again. [/QUOTE]
