[QUOTE="Tiew, post: 2923834, member: 12604"] "Uncool" is probably a bad word. Maybe "unimpressive" or non-heroic. It's just hard for me to think, "what would a noble charasmatic paladin say right now." But pretty easy for me to figure out what a "socially awkward and unimpressive druid who's afraid he's going to say the wrong thing" might say now. For instance, when our group was going to meet a powerful woman who was going to offer us a job I asked the rest of the group if "she was the Lady of Pain." They told me no, and to shut up. Then later when we were talking to the woman she said something about running the city. So I whispered to the person next to me, "I thought you said she wasn't the Lady of Pain." A pretty bad social blunder, but more fun to play than anything I could have thought of if I was trying to play my character as being cool. :) I think I also agree with Jyrdan. If I build my character up as some kind of badass then whatever they do is kind of expected. If I play my character down as a person with lots of fears and insecurities then when they pull something off it seems a lot cooler. [/QUOTE]
