[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7848213, member: 20564"] When I join an ongoing campaign, I find out what people are playing and make a character to first not step on anyone's toes, and second fill a gap. That's common courtesy as far as I'm concerned. And it gets me angry when others don't do this, perhaps out of whack with the magnitude of the sin. Had a player do this in one campaign where it was just that his new character also had expertise and the same modifier in persuasion that was my halfling bard's trademark for the campaign. Wasn't helped that the original characters were point buy but he showed up with quite nice rolled ability scores so he matched me there, and others elsewhere. As you can tell, I'm still a bit steamed about it. EDIT: A couple of posters mentioned doing it on purpose with buy in from both players and making brothers or other interwoven backstories. That's cool, and I've done that myself. Party on! [/QUOTE]
