Message: <blockquote data-quote="werk" data-source="post: 3954352" data-attributes="member: 29663">Thinking back to a homebrew game that we cooked up prior to Dragonstar that had a lot in common with that setting...we called it Star Lords (in case those old-timers are out here).  Anyway, I had a character whose concept was weaponsmith and munitions designer.  He made bombs out of almost anything and we found ourselves forced to abandon our homeship which, of course, was heavily pimped out with experimental technology.  At some point I became separated from the rest of the crew while we were fighting off these cold-based space parasite giger-looking alien things.  We'd figured out that they didn't like heat and the cap'n (the other PC that wasn't with the rest) was running engineering, changing internal and hull temperatures trying to corral these bugs into an area that we could wipe them out and begin repairs.  Sounds like a plan?So the reason my PC was separated was because he had to collect up all the incindiaries or munitions that dealt heat damage to try to jerry-rig a big enough bomb to get the job done.  He was small and fast and heavily cybernetically augmented, so I wasn't having much trouble getting everything together.  The problem was that I found myself basically in the center of a quickly contracting ring of parasites that were being herded into my position...  Wait, was that part of the plan?!?He went down in a flurry of claws and frozen gore, holding out just long enough for the bad guys to be in position then hit the go button...FOOM!The rest of the party all were safe and the bugs were destroyed.  The ship was horribly damaged, but they were able to get to a dock where it was repaired after quarantine.The DM said we could collect enough DNA to regrow enough of my PC to keep him going in another chassis, but I thought there was too high a likelyhood that the DNA would be tainted by the ice bugs.  "Leave him dead, I'll roll up a big cockroach with beautiful teeth."My second PC in 3.0 was an elven paladin that, when faced with a moral dilemma, chose to sacrifice himself rather than choose the worse of two evils.  "So I have to choose the protector of this world, and whoever I pick will die and their life energy will suffuse the world and influence life on this plane for lifetimes to come...and I can choose a super evil guy or a hapless innocent...yeah...I'll do it myself!"  Is pride a sin in the church of Tyr?</blockquote>
