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

[QUOTE="Nai_Calus, post: 4539665, member: 79670"] Starbuck II: Corellon, the Corellon Larethian of 1-3e anyway, is either male or female. Or both. Or neither. Same thing for most of the rest of the elven gods. Gotta love the Seldarine. XD Ahh, ok, 4e Sehanine. The one who beat up Hanali and Erevan and took half their stuff. Gotcha. Makes sense. >D If I ever DM I'm outlawing evil PCs, I think. If only because I've had such miserable experiences being on the opposite end of the Good-Evil axis from them. First one came in mid-campaign and should have known it would cause trouble, and then the character intro had him and the DM retconning my character who was already up back into his tent and back 'asleep'(Character tranced rather than slept, btw), so the new guy could cut my character with a poisoned blade by way of intro without having to move silently or me getting a listen check. I nearly quit over that alone, nevermind later clashes. (I rolled a natural 20 on my fort save against the poison, btw. Instant revenge.) That... I don't care how great your concept is. You're not going to be evil if anyone in the party is good. It doesn't make for good roleplay in either circumstance I've seen it in, it just makes for drama. There should be some kind of test, also, for seeing if people actually know what 'Chaotic' means. >_>; But yeah, no evil PCs unless everyone else is neutral at best. ...Even then probably not since I wouldn't really want to DM that. I want to be in a reasonably heroic game, not 'let's go poison/burn villages'. Honestly it makes me not want to even try DMing, at least with my current group. Someone's always evil, and most are asocial jerks at best. >_>; ...Maybe I just need a new group that isn't mostly composed of people eight years younger than I am. >_> Most of these guys are 17-19, and I'm 25. I stopped wanting to be an Angsty Badass years ago. [/QUOTE]
