[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 6695398, member: 15700"] Disclaimer: this is from my own experience, so take it FWIW There are two main reasons why I generally roll my eyes pretty hard when an experienced player plays a clone. 1. "Oh man, this again. I'm tired of this clone. You literally are only limited by your imagination, use it to play a character of your own." Drizzt and Tass are two examples I've seen played way too much 2. Special snowflake. Drizzt is also a huge example of this. All players want their PCs to be special, but these are players who want their PCs to be extra special and get extra special treatment in the game because the characters they're basing their PC off of got extra special treatment in the books they are pulling the clone from. Yeah, I am fully aware how every woman ends up infatuated with Drizzt because of his angsty emo darkness, but guess what? Women in this game world don't really care for it. In fact, because you're a drow, they scream in fear and have alerted the militia. Don't get mad at me because I'm not DMing your PC like Salvatore writes Drizzt. I'm not Salvatore. Both reasons almost always hurt overall game play for the rest of the group. That's why I personally protest. Can't speak for anyone else. [/QUOTE]
