[QUOTE="Wolv0rine, post: 653649, member: 9045"] You're focusing on that piece of paper, on the numbers and the +2 longspears and whatnot. That's not the character, it's only the character's Arcane Focus (:P). The character is the way the Player acted and re-acted while playing that character. When a DM keeps that character and brings it back later as an NPC, what the DM is actually doing is attempting to do an impression of the old player. That in mind, how would yo feel if you asked someone not to do bad impressions of you while telling stories of things you were invloved with to other people? What if some guy you used to have out with went around telling stories of the times you guys used to hang out, and he always did this really dumb impression of you when he told it? This doesn't mean the guy's unstable, or even that he has issues. It just means he may have connected with that character. [/QUOTE]
