[QUOTE="kitcik, post: 5591043, member: 98256"] Back in 1E, I played a CN half-orc fighter/cleric who leaned towards CE and was obnoxious and domineering. He was a lot of fun, but obviously not a party favorite. In 3E, I decided to play a CN half-orc barbarian with a totally different personality. Whereas the first guy's low charisma was a result of his orcish behavior, I played the 2nd guy's low charisma as more of a childish self-centeredness. It's not that he didn't care about his companions - he was actually a loyal friend - but things just didn't occur to him. He lacked empathy and only his own needs generally occurred to him. One day, we were in town and we came upon a bakery run by halflings. The smell coming out of the bakery was incredible and Mukk (me) became fascinated with the cookies. Unfortunately, the bakery had a "no half-orcs" policy and my party held me back b/c we were trying to keep up a good rep in the town. A few days later, we were knee deep in an adventure hook and were fighting some evil dudes in the sewers. These guys were notorious for using bombs. Finally, they trapped us in a small sewer area with two portcullises, with a locked trapdoor in the (low) ceiling and set a bomb. I managed to bust the trapdoor and start climbing up a ladder above. One of my comrades was injured and needed help getting onto the ladder. Just as I was about to turn back and pull him up, my DM told me I smelled cookies. I rushed up the ladder onto the street and into the bakery, which just happened to be right there and which had been abandoned when explosions started being felt from below. I munched a whole tray of cookies as my companion was blown to bits. The best thing about it was that the party still liked him and forgave him for not "chipping in." [/QUOTE]
