[QUOTE="Janx, post: 5810241, member: 8835"] I'm sorry for saying that in a jerky way. If you say your paladin who's been LG since day one, just snapped and went CE on the village, and I am sitting next to you at the table, I am telling you, that is crap role-playing. Since I am not having fun, and the group experience is OUR story, you are tainting it by treating your character as a game piece, rather than playing the role you defined. Don't mistake my use of the word acting. it is merely the word I've chosen to denote portraying your PC as a character, rather than a game piece, since the term role-playing has too unspecific of a definition. I am not talking about people speaking with flawless shakespearian accents and other silly crap. I'm saying that when you tell me your PC is just like Jack Bauer on 24 but different, then I bloody well expect a consistent potrayal of your PC that reminds me more of Jack Bauer than Murdock from the A-Team. At least have the consistency to say "Damnit" every now and then. [/QUOTE]
