[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 4848867, member: 67338"] I think it is very much a grey area when a charcter passes into this geoup (sue hood) but I also think that this thread shows some darn good examples...I also want to say that Dan Brown and Josh Weaden are very popular and like authors...so when we can say there characters are falling into it, then I don't think Ed Greenwood should feel insulted for being in that company... well when you take a public life style (he is a sort of celebrity) you have to expect some of this, however I think most if not all of this has been no worse then saying your best friend had a DMPC in that game last year you hated...dislikeing something and meaning to insult the person who did it are two diffrent things... QFT...had elminster and drizt never seen stat lines none of this would happen...or my personal theory that they should be stated as weak character the PCs can work with with out being over shadowed...(Imagin Elminster 4th fighter 5th rouge 3rd wizard 3rd cleric 5th mystic theurg and add silver fire...) (imagin drizt fighter 4 Ranger 5) The irony isn't lost on me, I agree with this statement... See that is the problem though...that is not how I run games...and I think I am in the majority (Hey this is the internet all opions are the majority right... ;) ) Ironicly this is also what stops alot of my group (not all we have 3 wowers) from playing MMOs...we want to be the BIG DAMN HEROS...not just adventureing group 73...
