[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 8453099, member: 6779196"] No, obviously he would, my point was that hedonism isn’t the only thing that would motivate a character to fight Tiamat out of self-interest. Well, first of all I think people are more complex and less consistent than you give them credit for here. Just because someone is a hedonist doesn’t mean they will always act out of hedonistic motivation. A person can and will set such things aside when they have more pressing concerns. A hedonistic character could still recognize that, in light of the goings-on with the dragon cult, it is in their best interest to temporarily prioritize stopping the cult over spending money on carnal experiences. Would he necessarily spend money on such things when there’s a world to be saved though? Maybe he would, maybe he wouldn’t. People are complex and often inconsistent. At any rate, just because a player decides that their hedonistic character would save their money for things that could help them defeat the Tiamat cult doesn’t mean that character is nothing but a player avatar.
