Just a little elf fighter-wizard of no particular sub-race with a sabre, robes, big floppy hat, kinda poor and a really 'meh' collection of spells who was a 'tutor from Greyhawk' for someone who was multiclassing in the group.It was half my idea and half the GM's, mostly as an 'ace' to get the party outa trouble which they where headed. So, I played along, he played along and we dropped plently of hints along the way, but no one noticed! Kept going and going... dwarves and pallys arent real smart <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />That lasted from about 9th level which was where we're finishing up ToEE the end of 'Slavers' and did a few other games. We'd gotten to about 12-13th level and starting on 'Against the giants'.Still more hints, no one cared, no one really asked me about where I was from or what my sub-type was, we just bumbled along killing monsters and doing good. As a wizard having a lot of skills back then I could get away with several 'arcane and odd' languages, stange skills and no one really cared, just a scholarly type.I think it was halfway through the Hill giants bit and we got into a huge scrap and someone popped off the mother of all Dispels against a nasty there, natural 20 type of thing. Im half dead from a severe beating already and they didnt really appreciate having a rather big cranky drow appear behind them where their 'little wizzy' was hiding and proceeded to pound me down to about 2hp's.Least they let me live after I pretended to be dead.Well that ruse lasted 5months real time and about 3 years game time and it was a damn fun time. No one really trusted the character (and much less me!) for about another 3 years after <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Still playing that character 11 or so years down the track.</blockquote>
