[QUOTE="Lorna, post: 2558676, member: 97364"] *glares menacingly at Jason, tries to look mean, fails miserably* OK, I wish to clarify what I meant in my previous post. I did not mean to imply that everyone should make a character sheet, that was not my intention. I have several characters with no character sheets, however what I DO have is a list, or at least an idea of what they CAN do, what they are good at, things they enjoy doing etc... I also have several characters with honest to goodness fully filled out character sheets. What I was trying to point out though is if you have a character and no idea of what they can and cannot do, you will either end up with a schitzoid or a blah personality. OK, now I will get back on subject. Changing power levels according to who I am playing with..... Personally I do not think it is a good idea, again alot of who a person is, is also what they can do.... how can you be true to the character if yesterday your character was capable of killing a dragon and today is having difficulty taking on a low level bard? It really does not make much sense to me. If I were to see a character get defeated by a low level character and then the next day is taking apart a gang of devils and other miscreants, well honestly, I would be leary of the character. Which explains why most of the time I avoided the viles. There was never a way for my character to judge their abilities, strengths, or weaknesses since they constantly changed. *Is done for the moment* Lorna [/QUOTE]
