[QUOTE="CreamCloud0, post: 9504383, member: 7034710"] i do not intend to offend or shift blame but i think it is you who has made a mistake in the point in which you think i am making. i'm not going to respond to this as i think it is directed against a point i am not actually making. this started with me replying to 329 with primarily this was about not desiring the experience of some members of the party reaching old age faster due to having shorter lifespans but i think the real confusion started here with my semi-serious response of playing the identical decendants trope to dismiss a character actually having to age at a different rate and your response to it i admit some of the fault lies on my shoulders here for not asking you to clarify what you thought my post was saying rather than just giving the response i did, but regardless I did and you responded to that with which came off to me as 'if you don't like that your short lived species that you want to play ages sooner, simply play a longer lived species' as well with a paragraph that i could not fathom how it was related to my perspective i have come to the conclusion that it must be based on some difference in our interpretations of the meaning of (variations on the phrase of) 'i just want to play the character i wanted to play' my intended use of the phrase being 'i would like to play the character i started session 1 with throughout the campaign, i would not wish to explore the dynamics resulting from them aging at a different comparative rate to some of their party mates as i feel this would be altering the nature and focus of the character.' now i do not like writing this kind of 'i said and then you said and then i responded' post, but i think it was required at this point for untangling the knot of misunderstandings, hopefully when i return tomorrow morning i will find that this post has managed to of cleared some things up between us.
