[QUOTE="Gilladian, post: 7652107, member: 2093"] The third character I ever created was Gilladian the dwarf (hey, I was 11, it was a nickname my Dad gave me and I just grabbed it out of desperation). He had a six int and a four wis. I never dreamed he'd actually survive the dungeon, as my first two characters had lived about 1/2 hour each! But survive he did. He went from Basic rules to 1st ed, then 2nd, and has been played in game after game since 1976. A couple years ago, he even made an appearance as an NPC in one of my brother's campaigns. He has a hook on one hand, a badly damaged broom of flying, a ring of regeneration, gloves of ogre power, and a +3 returning battle axe. But it is his stupidity, and his mule (named Mule-go-bang because it kicks down dungeon doors) that make him memorable. He's gullible, eternally good-natured, and very generous. He still doesn't believe that a whole group of adventurers INTENDED that he be the distraction charging into the front door of the dragon's lair while they robbed the hoard through the secret passage... he died, but because of his ring, he came back to life... and picked up LOTS of treasure while the rest of the PCs were being strafed and TPK'd by the furious dragon - who knew ALL about the "secret" passage! I have other memorable characters (Lyria the 21st lvl wizard, Theyson the White - a real old school bard, and some others) but Gilladian is my alter-ego. He's just so much FUN! [/QUOTE]
