I played a lot of GURPS at one point and one GM through several campaigns finally told me that I was not allowed to take the Impulsive disadvantage for my characters.  I played my other disads well..but not that one, even though I nearly always took it. "But I really want to have that kind of character" I reasoned. "I understand..but it is just not in your nature", he said.  And he was correct.  It was one of the times when role playing gave me insight into my personality.   I tend to think things through and not be very impulsive.  I like to plan and to consider.  I've played characters who have let me 'try on' other characteristics that I don't have..but not that one really. So I am proud of myself for making an impulsive heroic gesture with a character of 3 years.Day after regrets?I gave piratecat a plot hook on character creation that someone was trying to assassinate me.  Now I'll never know who!I hope poor Ehleri doesn't slowly go insane in that little hallway..like some of the poor trapped spirits we've encountered in the campaign.PirateCat does a really great job of  rolling with the surprises we toss his way and this was no exception.  He hadn't set this up as a sacrifice situation..it just occurred to me as a way to keep the world (and my half-siblings who I've been watching over ) safer.  Even thought it means a bunch of rethinking for him, he let me turn what was meant to be a chapter ending into a heroic moment with a ton of grace on his part.  Thank you! It is better to die upon your feet than live upon your knees, as a certain bard once said.  Or in this case..It is better to die upon  your feet, than live with vial of evil dust in your pocket!</blockquote>
