I'm sorry, your character idea is too awful.

[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 4537683, member: 54846"] DM When floating a gestalt game because I had few players, I had to say no to a Warlock/Monk because the guy said "Hey, I can be some guy from DBZ!" There was a minor kerfuffle when I was going to run a demon-hunting game and a player wanted a Spirit Shaman (In this instance, spirits wouldn't be all that influential). Incidentally I just made demons constitute spirits. Player There's a concept I want to play that constantly gets rejected: A Kobold Paladin. The idea being that he was your standard sneak kobold, but he was caught in a trap, or a situation, and (what he believes), Bahaumet saved him. So he turned over a new leaf, and now believes that kobolds were created by Metallics, but Chromatics corrupted them. So he wants to create his own nest(s), covert his fellow kobolds, and make a good name for kobold kind. For some reason, no one takes it seriously. (I'll have to readjust his combat schtick to suit 4e). I am a big fan of non-demihuman races. Kobolds (my favorite), Tri-keen (or anything bug-like), changelings and warforged and shifters, oh my! And Undead. In non-Eberron groups, this is generally a strong "no". Multiple Personalities I particularly love multiple personalities, but see that most people use them as an excuse to do crazy things. I prefer the general creepy factor, as well as just the roleplaying challenge. But then, I'm the type of guy who would enjoy playing a Tri-keen just so I can use insect-like body language at the table. I can see there being different ways to go about it, for instance the character being an "Open Vessel"; entities can possess the character, so you have the character's "base" personality, and the personality of whatever entity is possessing him at the time. There's also the Shapeshifter, who doesn't have multiple personalities so much as he has a few favorite "Identities" that he likes to switch between. He's not crazy, just a really good actor with three or four favorite faces/personalities that fit the situation. (I play a good changeling, let me tell you). [/QUOTE]
