[QUOTE="Oaken25, post: 653338, member: 5820"] The other thing people seem to be missing and maybe I didn't add it in the orignal post on this board was that the person didnt care about the character, it was that they didn't want the characters NAME to be reused cause the NAME was special to them. Other wise they didn't give a monkeys bum about the character itself, just it's name. But as I said a few times me and the PC straightened it out yesterday, but I kept this thread open cause it was a interesting discussion about how PC's and DM's feel about the reuse of old PC's in campaigns. Any how I still feel it is really odd that a lot of PC's are so anal about thier characters in general (and yes I also play in some peoples games and I would love that the DM includes a copy of one of my characters in thier games), that they don't allow DM's to include a copy of thier characters in the history of the game world. Its not like its stopping you for ever playing that character again, but, as a example, if the character was used in my campaign then that character would exist in my world, but it might also exist some where else if another DM allows you to use that character in his or her game.
