[QUOTE="Kalendraf, post: 1650597, member: 3433"] My most memorable character was a 1st edition bard named Kalendraf (yup, that's where my posting nickname comes from). That's back in the days when you becoming a bard meant starting with several levels of fighter followed by levels of thief before finally becoming a bard (who got spells mostly from the druid list). He was a fighter7 / thief 8 / bard X. I don't actually remember how many levels of bard he managed to get, but I remember that the rest of the characters were around 14th or so. Experience was handled a bit differently back then as well, so I'd have to crack out the books to figure that out. It was my longest lived character, in what at that time was the longest running campaign I'd ever played in. He was chaotic and had a tendancy to get drunk at the worst of times, and it was a blast roleplaying his drunkenness. He made it a point to frequent every bar he could find under the pretense of looking for leads, but always manage to put down a few drinks before moving to the next bar. Once the party had to hightail it from the bar to a docked ship under attack, and he managed to fall overboard during the fight and almost drowned. Another time, he was so drunk he bedded an ugly half-orc prostitute, and nearly had to perform the coyote option to get away. [/QUOTE]
