[QUOTE="Amphimir Míriel, post: 4854056, member: 55933"] This. I think the "My character must be completely useless in order to be fun to roleplay" position is a fallacy. The game must be fun to play for everyone involved, and this includes both the "roleplaying" and the "game" portions of an RPG If you are playing with me and you want to play a cowardly, comic-relief kind of character, I would very much rather ask you to play a Bilbo Baggins, Neville Longbottom, Ciaphas Cain, [URL="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass"]Crouching-Moron-Hidden-Badass[/URL], [URL="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CowardlyLion"]Cowardly Lion[/URL] type of character, than someone who really is useless all the time. Luckily, my current game of choice (D&D 4E) makes it kinda hard to make a "completely useless" kind of character... [/QUOTE]
