[QUOTE="Axel, post: 5937833, member: 93196"] When monsters were allowed as PC races as a normal component of D&D (as opposed to a really cool concept that came up once every 5 years) was when it jumped the shark for me, looking back. PF >> 3.5 (thanks HM for pointing it out!). [MENTION=99953]Zerith[/MENTION] Sounds like you'd play a Kender if they were allowed. I played with a Kender in a few parties. It's OK for a one-night-stand. For a PbP that runs for years...probably not what the group is looking for. From over 2 decades of RP experience, your character will get tired and irritating. Fast. Then we'll find ways to sideline it (like not jumping in to protect a flank, or leaving you out of a big aura spell). If it gets really bad, you can end up with PC vs PC, though I expect HM may step in before then. For a world as apparently xenophobic and speciesist as this one...it may be like the first time one of my PC's ever met a (PC) Drow character. "It's a Drow! Catch it, and stick it in a barrel of water before it kills my wife!!" You can't expect the rest of the players to meta-game the acceptance of a freak just because it's your character. ---- No objections to proposed plans. Rodric may end up taking a back seat in combat as he's a few levels behind. Still, I can deal with that. :) Will finish his crunchy bits off tonight. [/QUOTE]
