[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5374558, member: 19675"] What garyh said... ...plus some others. It gives me something to do when I don't have a novel or sketchbook or instrument handy. I did this even without an available PDA (and still use [I]actual paper[/I] for some)- I have 3-4 folders of D&D PCs dating back to AD&D, 2 folders of HERO PCs dating back to the original version of that game, and a big binder of PCs covering those I liked from GURPS, RIFTS, Ace, Mekton, Mechwarrior, WoD, and many other systems besides. I sometimes write up PC versions of characters I'm writing about (in HERO, usually) to solidify the way I think they should work. I'll even write up PCs just to get an idea out of my head so it won't distract me from other things- I have a tendency to have "problems" bouncing around up there until I "solve" them. Sometimes, fiddling about with a new PC you have an idea that hasn't been played before. A new wrinkle in a PC can sometimes keep a game fresh- I'm eagerly awaiting the opportunity to play another 3.5 [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/239192-forked-thread-mage-brute-revisited.html"]Mage-Brute[/URL], for instance. Besides, if someone came to me- in person, or more commonly online, and asked about PC design, I probably have some kind of answer... [/QUOTE]
