[QUOTE="lone kilgo, post: 7330266, member: 6934990"] The not being able to walk a straight line was a sarcastic exaggeration, i know three is average. Everything you mentioned is a great for creating a character, but my character has been made, he has a back story. Those suggestions would be great for down time leveling too. So for whatever reason I'm explaining this wrong. The point of the suggestion is not to avoid the career system, it's great. It doesn't even have to do with maximizing stats. The current situation is that I have a noble fighter type who only fights in defense and only in an honorable fashion. I've been picking up attributes and skills with xp as I need them, but I havn't bought a grade. The reason for this is that barbarian is perfect for the stats I want, but he is in no way a barbarian. For roleplay purposes it makes no sense what so ever. The adventurer thing was just an idea for a way to move ahead in a career choice and title that made sense for my character(since adventuring has been thrust on him and he is embracing it). Taking barbarian is me taking a career for it's benefits, if we were waiting and leveling by doing our own thing for a while it makes sense, but we are not. It's a choice purely for stats. Adventurer was meant for me to advance my character while still being in "character". It was never meant to be used in character building(you could only get it through xp earned at the table adventuring). From reading replies it seems people think this career is purely about stats. Just the opposite, it's about roleplay and not falling far behind. In the end I'm most likely going to take barbarian and give it a more palatable(roleplay standpoint) name. [/QUOTE]
