[QUOTE="Enrahim, post: 9711789, member: 7025577"] Ok. So let me clarify. The [I]player[/I] decided that as the alternative of thiefling was not on the table, they rather wanted to [I]make[/I] a [I]new[/I] human fighter character. This using the normal rules of the game with no extra limitations from the DM in terms of mechanics. The [I]player[/I] then decided to go treasure hunting. The player actions, prepared content and [I]rules resolution[/I] over several sessions of play put the character in posession of significant funds. The [I]player[/I] then decided to put these funds toward establishing a new town. Having accomplished this the [I]player[/I] decided to seek out the legendary dragon that had been mentioned as part of some random lore dump [I]far[/I] earlier in the campaign. They succeeded in finding the dragon, but the stats of this important entity (established years ago) alongside the [I]rules of the game[/I] established the character's heroic demise. I find spelling this out to border on writing the infamous "what is roleplaying games" found at the start of every "stand alone" rpg. I really did not expect that would be neccessary to do to someone with more than 26700 reaction score on an RPG forum. If this is the kind of misreading that has prompted some of your previous replies, then I really can understand how that can cause some major confusion. [/QUOTE]
