[QUOTE="billd91, post: 8630079, member: 3400"] I guess my response to all this is: 1) Does this bother you? 2) If no, carry on. But if yes, then stop. I've encountered players who will have (or cause) problems with their characters and then act as if they don't have full control over them. I had one player for whom this was causing distress. I kind of wanted to reach out and shake them (it was an online game). They didn't easily respond to my telling them that they're the one in full control, not the PC. If they didn't think something was in character, fine, but if they made that in vs out of character issue problematic for the table, they had to wrap their brain around fixing it. So I'm hoping that your title is a bit tongue in cheek about not being able to help it or at least you mean you do it, but you're OK with it. Because if you are distressed by it, you're really in control of it, not the wizard. [/QUOTE]
