Message: <blockquote data-quote="Richards" data-source="post: 9798316" data-attributes="member: 508">I ran a low-Intelligence lizardfolk fighter/barbarian PC who'd been raised his whole life in a drow slave camp.  As a result, he had a rather limited understanding about how the world really was.  On their first excursion on the surface world, I had my PC tackle a fellow slave - a dwarf fighter PC - because he thought the sun was a fireball.  (He had no idea what the sun was, but he knew what fireballs were....)  I also had him make decisions based on his limited understanding, like attacking the horse pulling a wagon when they were attacking a merchant caravan because he figured, as the largest creature around, the horse was obviously the leader of the group.  He once grappled a lich because he had no idea that that was a particularly bad idea (given their ability to permanently paralyze those they touched); to him, it was just an animated skeleton who could talk, no big deal.  He also initially gave away any coins he earned because he had no idea how money worked and thought they were useless (until a kind-hearted fellow PC explained the concept to him).  So yeah, I've used "that's what my character would do" before, but I tried not to do so to the detriment of the other players and their PCs.  And Jhasspok the lizardfolk was a blast to run through an entire 20-level campaign.Johnathan</blockquote>
