I did not want to take the thread off topic, so it is best to post my questions about this here.I would like to ask: Has somebody else has done something similar? Besides the fact that it is really strange (not that I am condeming it, but it does sound weird) I cannot really imagine how it could possibly work. An immediate problem would be translating the individual into D&D statistics terms. Most likely he or she would be a 1st level Commoner or Expert, but going beyond that would be very difficult. How would you determine ability scores? How would you determine skill points and feats? This seems almost insurmountable to me. If you have played such a game, how have you dealt with this? I guess, perhaps having other people in the group assign these stats to the individual works best, or else his or her inflated ego would likely... inflate them.  Apart from character creation, were there any other major problems you had with this type of game? I can think of several that would be likely to occur, but it is best to hear directly from those who have experience in the matter. Thanks!</blockquote>
