[QUOTE="HywayWolf, post: 4871659, member: 68612"] I know many of you may not understand why I enjoyed playing a 3 hp 1st level thief who never drew his sword in combat for the entire first level. But I did and he lived despite the heavy losses the rest of the party have taken so far. It helped that he had a high dex, but I wouldn't play a thief that wasn't better at range and jumping out of the way of trouble than the meat shields that grunt loudly as they kick open doors. (Doors that I flatly refused to attempt to pick the locks on :) Mama might have raised a criminal, but she didn't raise a stupid one) I was always the first up and over a ledge, or down a hole, or through a creepy crawley place. But put a big ugly beast in front of me, you can bet I was finding away to get behind the beefcakes and/or finding a safe place to range that had a nice exit point behind me. I don't really care about what mechanics do what, I just want to go adventuring. And if I die, like has happened to me 3 times in the last two gaming nights in another game (where I am not playing a cowardly braggart of a thief), then I just role em up again and start over hoping that I can amass enough money, or goodwill with the church, to afford a resurrection if my soon to be 4th level thief meets his demise.
