[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 2889819, member: 1656"] Run 'by committee' by the other players. Generally in a style of 'What would the real player do?', though the character tends to be rather more selfless and... cooperative than normal. Frequently volunteering to pay the tab at the bar, to open the spooky door, to play rear-guard while everyone escapes the vampire, etc :D There was one notable exception. We'd been getting frustrated by the paladin player's refusal to be valiant and heroic :) The paladin dithered, and was hesitant to confront evil, etc, etc. Which was a real waste of a 20 Str Half-Orc! So the day the player was away, the paladin ditched the wussy shield, swapped his longsword for the magic greatsword we'd just picked up, and started two-handed Power Attacking (like half-orcs are made to do! :D ). He saved the day when we fought the Bearded Devil - we didn't have anything to bypass the DR, and only the high strength Greatsword work was making a dent in it. So the paladin finally became a useful memeber of society, but only when his player wasn't there...! -Hyp. [/QUOTE]
