Any one of the following transgressions just screams, Dead Man Walkin'!1) An unnamed characterAnd no, you can't just go with "Bob." You better have a name before you roll that first d20. You know what happens to guys on Star Trek who don't have a name, right?2) Using an unpainted miniatureNothing broadcasts your intentions to the powers-that-be like an unpainted miniature. If you don't care, why should they care. Buying and painting your miniature doubles your character's life expectancy. At least.2) An unkempt character sheetThis includes folds, wrinkles, holes in the page where the pencil poked through, and spots where you have erased the sheet over and over until you have worn a hold in it. Oh, and you can add foodstains to the list, too. 3) A new character sheetNow, I admit it, this is just plain superstitious, and maybe it's just because I'm an unlucky sort. But if you spend hours painstakingly recopying your character, you can be sure he's going down next session.4) Having a ready back-up characterYour character will hate you for this, and to spite you, he will fail his saving throws. It's like having a "back-up" girlfriend-- "You know, honey, just in case!" No matter how you spin this one, it's not going to go over.Wulf</blockquote>
