I just need a little Me time...

First Post
In the campaign I have played in for the past couple of years, my character is the only one who has been their since the beginning. Now, I love the character (LN Monk of Wee Jas) but I would like to try something new. What I would like to do is take a break from the character and try something new for an adventure or two, and after a while, go back to the old character.
As a DM would you allow something like this? Have you or anyone in your group done this before? How did it turn out?

Thank in advance

A guy did that in the old Robotech campaign I played in many years ago. The veteran characters were pretty close and liked messing with each other, and one of the players brought in a new guy.

The guy's new character was named Francis (not a good start) and thought it would be funny to take some pictures of another character, Bulldog, who went for a swim in his flightsuit because he forgot to tell the GM he was changing into his swim trunks before jumping into the pool.

So Bulldog gets out, sopping wet, and walks over to Francis, grabs the camera, and crushes it in his fist (in Robotech a 24 Strength meant you could bench press minivans.) This really pissed off Francis, who dropped to his knees and pummeled Bulldog with a flurry of jabs to his genitals, sending him into a coma (goofy critical strike tables).

As Commanding Officer, I show up and berate Francis, then pick up Bulldog and start carrrying him to the infirmary when all of a sudden Francis pulls a Desert Eagle out of the front of his speedo and tells me that if Bulldog is allowed to heal, he'll just come after Francis.

I say, "Do what you gotta do, I'm taking him to the doctor," and Francis wisely returns his massive handgun to its prior location.

In the end Bulldog recovered, Francis was Court Martialed and demoted, and I was promoted to 1st Lieutenant.

Reason for the story? None at all. Have fun.
 

LMFAO!!!!

That was one of the funniest things I've ever heard Kai Lord.

You've played with people with a strange fondness for genital hits too? One of my players in my Thrash campaign, his favorite move was the Gen-Shoryuken(short for Genital Smashing Shoryuken).
