[QUOTE="SHARK, post: 4631435, member: 1131"] Greetings! Well, I think it's good for people to make the characters they want to play. If she's interested in playing a particularly weak character--fine. However, when she dies more often, and needs to be raised more often--whoever is playing the cleric--wait, *you* are!:cool:--simply charge her some extra gold for your necessary expenses and ritual costs/whatever. Players that make especially gimped or dysfunctional or disadvantaged character will have plenty of occasions where they suffer the consequences. I should note that I see the above building of a distinctly flawed character as something different from simply making a more or less standard kind of character that is not *optimized* But, hey--even in groups where you have some characters that are severely flawed--it can still be hilarious and lots of fun! I can also appreciate someone's desire to make characters with distinct flaws. Honestly, making endless characters that are uber-optimized and constantly twinked to get the ultimate Darwinian performance out of them can become boring in itself. It's actually strangely refreshing to play some messed up, sub-par character that has one or more distinct flaws and perhaps a whole pack of problems!:) Semper Fidelis, SHARK [/QUOTE]
