Message: <blockquote data-quote="chachi" data-source="post: 3672650" data-attributes="member: 29483">Just to clear things up a bit, The Owl isn’t really evil or even that chaotic, at least in the way that I would like to play her.  I just think that she comes from a completely different background that many members in the party, especially Olan.  Olan is a man who fights for freedom and the cause of good, and that’s great; that’s what this adventure needs.  But The Owl doesn’t see things that way.  In her world, everything has a price, and the only Good is what’s good for her.  Her background is that she bought and sold stolen goods, usually without asking too many questions.  And she didn’t treat everyone fair and didn’t necessarily abide by the rules of a contract, unless it was good for business.  To her, not looting a mage’s underground lair or freeing some old man’s soul just because it’s what we ought to do is silly.  The party should do what puts it in the best position to accomplish its goals.  She fights the slavers because the slavers destroyed her livelihood, not because they are inherently bad.  She’s seen too much bad to just go around fighting every scrap of it.  She and Olan don’t see eye to eye on this or many other things in life.  To her, HE is the strange, chaotic one.  Just know that she will continue to have these head-butting sessions with party members and continue to be the voice of reason within the party, just to add balance!  Otherwise, I still think that Mark and everyone else are great guys, and I am enjoying this game a lot.  On the other hand, I’m frustrated with how she is progressing.  I know that I’ve missed some sessions that would have added to her improvement rolls, but I also think that I’ve just spread her out too thin.  Her highest stat is a 60 in Dodge, and that’s not very impressive.  Don’t get me wrong, I love her as a character, I like playing her and I enjoy getting by on my wits more than my brawn, but I’m afraid that she’s going to become a detriment to this party because she just can’t do anything effectively.  Vince, can I try to rearrange her numbers a little (maybe dropping the Spirit Protection spell since it’s in our spellbook) and trying to boost that Dodge number up a little?  At least then she can enter combat, even if she can’t fight well.</blockquote>
