[QUOTE="Summer-Knight925, post: 5604438, member: 80297"] Actually real men do cry, let's just make that clear now onto the story/thread question so I'm playing a barbarian, he's 17th level (as I said)... His 'best friend' in role-play terms was brutally mashed by a few giants, he swore and oath to kill all giants before he rested (In respect of course, its more of HE HATES ALL GIANTS FOREVER) so I said "he breaks down and cries over the lifeless form of his blood brother (an NPC not worth bringing back) and bellows out "I WILL AVENGE YOU!" in a very dramatic way. The DM...ehem, I mean GM...turned to me and said "You now treat all weapons you wield as though they are giant bane" everyone in the group was like "awesome! thats so sick!" everyone but one guy...he contested it and still does, since then we haven't gamed...his reasoning? "He's a barbarian! not a ranger! he fights everything without emotion! HE CAN'T EVEN READ! he can't cry, its out of character" can someone give me a few points to shoot this down or help the player understand this? [/QUOTE]
