[QUOTE="Nyaricus, post: 2805794, member: 35678"] hey, great thread BTW - I have the DMG II and it is helping me with a great many things. Accumulating Cool Powers - the powers are always neat to have; i personally like playing a warrior-type, so i focus on feats which can maximize what i want to do - from a dude with a huge mattock to a TWF, i have many different favourites :D Kicking Butt - this is kinda moot for me; i think there needs to be more purpose then "i smash in the door and chrage at the goblin" this ranks very low for me. Brilliant Planning - planning is good - but not going for 2 hours over a minute detail of how to assault a dragon for a battle which lasts two rounds (as a previous poster said they'd do). My style is more being prepared for the unexpected - like having a set of armour for sleeping in and a dagger under my pillow. Stuff like that ;) Puzzle Solving - another moot point. Puzzels don't really appeal to me in a game. I am quite adept at them IRL, but i can do them IRL - i come to D&D to GM and play a game. Not to do crosswords :p Playing a Favorite Role - probably the biggest one here - i like player a big, hearty fighter with a few variantions depending on campaign. If i ever played in Ebberon, I'd go with a Warforged; generally i am all for a dwarven or human fighter with a neat weapon and good CHA and WIS to allow me to really RP him :D Supercoolness - don't get me wrong - I love James Bond in all his ways, but i wouldn't want to RP someone like that. Story - another big one - 2nd to Favourite Role. I love immersing myself in a great tale and getting into a great game with originality and such. Psychodrama - moot point, for a third. I like charatcer development, not character fixiation. That just about explains my opinion here :p Irresponsibility - I am a responsible guy - i play to chill and let off steam in a fun way - not to try and be "MR/ Big and Important" Yeah, that's right, moot is in for a fourth :lol: Setting Exploration - here we go! another high spot. I love going around and checking out this set of ruins here, blah blahy blah. Lotsa fun :D The Outlier - i am an active member of the group - so this doesn't apply Lurker - I am there becasue my friends are, but i actively participate. So, there's a bit of an overveiw of my opinions on this. Great thread idea (!!!) btw [/QUOTE]
