By creating a character with a background the player accepts that his character will have a routine which can be exploited. If I made a character in the city-guard, the DM would be entitled to have something happen on my watch, if I made a Druid Herbalist, the DM might have me blunder accross something in the woods while collecting flowers, and so on...I think that's just a good use of character background - and good character creation. As for going to the Dwarven Ruins, it's just an NPC pointing the character in the right direction, how the character gets there, and what he does when he arrives (or whether he just runs for the hills when he realises what's happened) is up to him.Because PC are part of the world, there's always a conspiracy between players and DM in creating a good story. The world limits the players options, and the characters limit the DMs. It's only natural that they both work together to kick off a good adventure.</blockquote>
