[QUOTE="LostSoul, post: 6424383, member: 386"] I like rootless vagabonds. I find that rewarding XP for goals results in PCs who have goals. If you put them into a harsh setting where they need the support of NPCs to survive and achieve their goals (and vice-versa) and play those NPCs as real characters, they will start to form relationships with NPCs - even if the PCs are "Evil". One example: I was playing a CE elf in 3.5. I needed to get out of the plane I was in and take some downtime, so I went to a frozen corner of the Forgotten Realms. There was a small village of impoverished humans there and I needed their help - I could have made my own igloo and food but it would have taken time that I didn't have. They had some problems of their own and, for some reason, my CE vagabond wanted to help them out. I gave them some fruit from a magic grove, solved a problem they were having with their local nature spirit, and became known as the "Honey Spirit". [/QUOTE]
