Message: <blockquote data-quote="King_Stannis" data-source="post: 62583" data-attributes="member: 324">i'm a dm myself, so on the rare occasions i get to play i almost universally ask the dm of the game what type of character would fit in best to the adventure/campaign we will be playing. maybe that's not fair, as i'm not a full time player and only have to "live" with my character for a short time, but i think it really helps the dm out and i would rather everyone have a good time and have the characters fit together than to play a drow/barbarian/wizard to satiate my hunger for method roleplaying.speaking as a dm, sometimes it's really a challenge to fit such a wide diversity of characters into a group. you have the evil thief, the  good paladin, the mercenary fighter, etc....the players may love their character on its own merits, but might not consider how that character will fit into the grand scheme of things. i suppose that's the dm's job, but sometimes even the best dm's explanations for how and why a group would travel/fight/risk-their-lives for one another can end up being hokey (to say the least!).i am fortunate in that most of my group consults me and we can usually taylor the characters to what i have in mind for the campaign. still, there have been a few times when i have had to do some real juggling to come up with a reason why a whole hodgepodge of characters (that run the spectrum of alignments and motivations) is risking their lives for one another.</blockquote>
