After all, when you introduce yourself to people you would identify yourself by your job title or as a practitioner of some hobby rather than giving them a complete breakdown of your psychological motivations. Just one more point I should make: Are you saying that you wouldn't let a player play a Rogue 10/Sorcerer 10 because at level 1 he cannot have abilities of both classes, therfore his development could not possible encompass such a combination? Essentially you are saying that a character must have the exact same attitude at level 1 that he will have at level 20. Do you refuse your players the chance to allow their characters to grow and change? What about this for his Ranger 1 backstory? I'm a Ranger, my life was destroyed by my excessive alcohol consumption, so I took on a mantle of asceticism to try and control myself. I learned the ways of the Monks, their discipline through martial arts. Eventually I learned to embrace my vice as a source of power, rather than a weakness. As far as I can tell, the only concession to humor is that he uses his beard to fight. Change that to fists and you have a normal character.</blockquote>
