[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 7138120, member: 6801845"] I always assume my character is going to survive. Why would I write up a character that I assume is going to die? When I DM, I don't care if you want to do minor tweaks to your character or retire/replace if they aren't working. I've just never wanted to retire a character before the end of the campaign, nor have I written up suicidal characters. I don't plan for my characters to die unless they have elven blood. Then they're cursed and will die before they get past third level. One day, Bink the Elf, by Grabthar's Hammer you will survive to see double digits! So more "if you were a better person you would prefer random rolling because it's what I prefer." Why is it that stating that I want to play a character that is slightly better than the average commoner, able to contribute to the team on roughly the same level in my chosen role as the other players such an issue? These threads all seem to come back to the same idea that stating that I want to have decent stats is like saying that all kittens should be tied to live hand grenades and then thrown into the air to watch them explode. I don't get it. [/QUOTE]
