He's gone through five different characters in my current campaign. Not only that, but his current character has changed so much that he is basically a new personality in an old body.Since my stories tend to be fairly character-driven as well, I've had to adjust to his transformations. One thing I've learned is that the main plot points, whatever they are, should not be tied to any one character in particular. Sure, some characters may have more at stake than others, but that's not the same as plotline not occuring at all without certain characters.I think I've achieved a decent mix of character-driven and story-driven play. The main plot is moving on regardless of who the characters are. The subplots may be tied to one or more characters, but they aren't essential to move the story forward. I'd have problems if all the characters were to change, but no single character is longer strictly necessary for the campaign.</blockquote>
