[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5579426, member: 19675"] All that plus things like: 1) noticing trends that would earn your PC a nickname. For example, our party Wizard (4Ed) has an amazing knack for landing the final blow. While he has a name, he's also rapidly earning a new nickname: "Kill-Stealer." A 2Ed Ftr/Priestess of Tyr I played and a 3.5Ed Paladin played by a friend of mine tended to roll an inordinate number of Nat20s in combat- both got nicknames from their partymates, "Bane" for the Priestess and something like "Redsteel" or "Valkyrie" for the Pally. That kind of thing makes PCs stand out in your memory. 2) doing your PC's "shtick" in some way that had [B]outDAMNstanding[/B] results. 6 weeks ago, it was the party's Fighter, surrounded by foes, using some kind of martial attack that targeted everyone around him: he rolled nothing lower than a 17, including a Nat20 on the biggest & baddest. The crit aside, he nearly maxes out his rolls on the other targets. CARNAGE! This week, it was my Starlock (MC: Psion) who Static Moted a whole bunch of Orcs and then went all mental on another target with his Eldrich Blast...twice with the AP he burned. Like the Fighter before him, the damage rolls wer rediculously high and resulted in mass bloodroots and a kill in one round, effectively cutting the opposing forces by a third once Kill-Stealer and the Ranger picked off the wounded.
