[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 2284653, member: 4937"] Even if that was the case, and I've got no reason at all to believe you, any DM worth his salt looking at those stats has no reason at all to believe you. I'd only believe you if I'd been playing with you for years and never once knew you to fudge a roll, and frankly unless all the other players knew you as well, I'd still make you reroll the dice in front of everyone - assuming that we were even allowing dice generated abilities and not a fixed point buy. I've been in several groups where someone wanted into the group, brought the sort of character you are presenting and was simply told to not bother showing up. Equipment is only earned if it is earned from the particular DM running the game. Different DM's have VERY different ideas about what it takes to 'earn' a particular peice of equipment. You have treasure worth 10 times that of what is normal for your level. You have a magic sword which many a 16th level fighter would kill for, and many DM's would simply never allow in the campaign at any level. You may have 'earned' that in the context of one DM's adventures, but you certainly didn't earn it at some other DM's table. What is considered 'earning' something at one table, might well be considered 'given away by a Monte Hall' DM at another table. Usually DM's will have very strict guidelines about how starting characters should and can be built. Consult those. Which is only +8, not +9. Suffice to say that if you are being serious (and what is with that advertising link?) then my serious answer to you is don't bring that character sheet anywhere near a strange DM, because really, many of the DM's I've played under would consider that character sheet sufficient evidence that you were a) too immature to be playing at thier table, b) that you'd probably be unhappy under thier authority because you were looking for a completely different sort of game, c) that your presence only be disruptive to the group and to the campaign, or d) all of the above. In short, you wouldn't even be allowed into the group on a trial basis, and even if you were allowed to play the night, you'd probably be not invited back by general concensus. And I'm not speaking on the purely theoretical here. I've seen groups vote that a player couldn't attend because of submitted character sheets similar to (and maybe even more ridiculous than) the one you are trying to pass off. [/QUOTE]
