Message: <blockquote data-quote="renau1g" data-source="post: 5146348" data-attributes="member: 54810">With a long time group of players we all decided before the campaign started to randomly select both race and class from a hat (3e) so after getting all the PHB races and classes into a hat (I offered two choices on each card) and the one player ended up with the gnome/human bard/rogue. I totally expected the human rogue, but he surprised me and went with gnome rogue, named Poop and I knew from that moment I was in trouble. I tried to convince him to just play something else as he clearly wasn't into this character, but he insisted he was so I rolled with it. In the first session he began just wandering around picking pockets and after 3 successful checks was seen by a guard. He was caught and placed into the stocks overnight. After being pelted with various rotten vegetables by townsfolk he was left alone. After announcing many, many times that we was defecating all over himself I knew this was too much so once he decided to get back at the guards that ridiculed him I let him "get back" at one of them and then the others caught him and publically executed him. He wasn't allowed back in the campaign until another session or two went by before I cooled off and talked with him about trying to ruin a game b/c he didn't like his PC. So... longwindedly I don't think random is good for many people (OTOH two of the players loved their PCs, a dwarf paladin and a human druid)</blockquote>
