Ever. That's what makes him kind of crazy, since he believes he has all the prerequisites to enter a knightly order but doesn't (although you could boil it down to him being naive and looking at the value structure as the only standard the knights set fr themselves and not realizing nobles and knights are an uptight bunch and care a lot about manners and heraldry and grooming and whatnot)Anyhow, if you care to, I would appreciate hearing the story of your crazy PCs and what (in particular, I do not find it hard to believe that an always-on turned-to-11 nutjob PC would be really annoying) made them unenjoyable to have at your table PS. Wow, the more I write about this character the more I like him and the more I see how he actually thinks- thanks for the insight. I get a lot of ideas just from writing stuff down semi-randomly, so when I have someone to bounce concepts off of I get to write a lot more than I would on my own.PPS. "Delusional, paranoia, pathological lying, those are things I'm fine with characters having as as traits," Are these not IRL problems themselves? I mean, I've seen and thought up plenty of concepts where a PC has some or all of these traits, but I've never seen anyone go overboard or manipulate them in a way that makes fun of people that actually have the problems (at least, they act them out in a way that they assume is realistic, not actually having experienced any of the illnesses themselves, and they don't try to be offensive). Care to elaborate?</blockquote>
