Snaking the HIVE

Ouch....that's harsh.

Nah, he deserved it... Going up to a dragon and DEMANDING a ride is not a smart thing to do... Even if the dragon was "an ally" ATM...

Oh, and the Dragon in question was actually his ancestor :D

Oh man. Thats terrible. Your characters Wisdom score must've been average or low enough to nae realize he was buckin' around to be a chicken mcnugget.

IIRC, both his Wis and Int were on neg modifiers. At least I did play him as extremely rash, self-centered snob...
 


At least he was well played. I always have a little difficulty playing characters with below average INT and WIS.

Actually, he was rather hard character to play with extremely high CHA and low WIS & INT. I did try to emulate something like manipulative narcist who thought too much of himself.

I think that pretty much nails it. That personality is a lot like my dad was. Even though he wasn't much of a leader and wasn't wise enough to know how people should be treated, he was smart enough to do his job and excelled at talking himself out of situations; like speeding tickets (twice).

I've played a High Cha Low Wis & Int PC as well...but I had a different take on that build.

Mine was quite attractive and likable, but had no common sense and was dumb as a post- think of the stereotypical inbred noble who leads men merely by virtue of his position, but is only successful when he has quality men behind him who make up for his (numerous) shortcomings.

One inspiration was Hugh Laurie's Lt. George C. St Barleigh from Blackadder, a classic "upper class twit."
 

Well now that we are talking about characters, let me tell you about my fave. It was Vampire: The Masquerade. I played a Malkavian who thought he was a Setite. The reason I consider him my favourite is the way he died. They were supposed to break into a Bank vault and for that reason they had some dynamite with them. But because my character wanted to be sure he packed along some plastic explosives too. A truckfull to be exact (Don't ask how he got it. He had resources 5 so he had the dough). So he has a crate of dynamite on the passenger seat, a truckfull of plastic explosive behind him... And an ambush of those Eastern Vampires waiting at the bank. As they drive to the bank an enemy comes straight to him and strikes a katana through the door to my char's ribs. He goes into frenzy... And as a malkavian picks one of the dynamites, lights it and shoves it to the enemy... Who in turn in rottshrek panics and throws the dynamite back to the truck... On the crate of the dynamite... Boom!... And half a second later, as the plastic explosives go off... Boom!

Even though I don't play much V:tM, one of my faves was from that game as well.

He was a private detective who was embraced by a Brujah and the experience snapped his mind...he's as crazy as any Malkavian. Upon recovering enough of his sanity to remember his identity, he noticed his supernatural strength, speed and resistance to damage and deduced he was a superhero.

Namely, Major Mosquito...who with his "crime straw" keeps the streets of Austin safe from n'er do wells. (Yes, he was inspired by The Tick.)

He primarily went after (read: "fed on") violent criminals- kind of like Jeff Lindsay's/Showtime's Dexter, but because of his abilities and equipment, he was quite hazardous to his fellow vampires as well.
