[QUOTE="Ladyshade, post: 2558662"] [b]Quite a Thinker[/b] Simply put I think it doesn’t have to go as far as changing character levels and powers to either tone down, or bring up a character for whatever reason. First of all, I agree with those who say you shouldn’t have to change your character for anyone whether that is to make it more powerful or less in order to RP along with someone ‘fairly’. People have bad days. People have good days. In a strictly role playing sense,.fumble a little people. Lets pretend the uber vampire who’s immune to the sunlight forgot to tie his boot laces *snicker* so he trips and gives so and so a chance to strike well/run/hide. Magic items aren’t always sure things have some fun with it. Give your character a surprise. That wand character x is using may just sprout flowers next time he wants it to throw fire. What’s the explanation? Who needs one? This is pretend. Not everything in life is explained, why should we go to that trouble for play of this sort? On the other hand, maybe mister low level ranger (who is still unsure of just how he’s supposed to hold his bow) ate a nice momma cooked meal this morning before he went and mouthed off to Big Bad Evil. :rofl: He’s feeling all alert and healthy, so maybe he won’t be so easily caught when mister vampire reaches for him from the shadows. After all, even a low ‘level’ character can have the common sense enough to know that shadows shouldn’t move like that when one is sober. Anything is possible in the realm of imagination. The rules and books are there to give people somewhere to start, and even their authors were dreaming it all up. I don’t think you have to change anything about what makes your character ‘that’ character, to make interaction better/fair/fun. You can however play with circumstances surrounding your characters to achieve the same goal. [/QUOTE]
