Message: <blockquote data-quote="Villano" data-source="post: 234366" data-attributes="member: 505">I briefly played in an on-line game with a group of 12 or so people (too large if you ask me).  One of the players, a ranger, decided that he didn't want join in on any hunting parties (which we did while in the woods to conserve rations) or take his turns on watch.He didn't feel like "taking care of everyone else", or words to that effect.  Before you ask, no, he wasn't roleplaying.  When some other players objected to his attitude, he quit.Another crappy character was in the same game.  Unfortunately, it was my halfling monk.  He had a pretty cool background and his stats looked good on paper, but in actual gameplay, he sucked.  I made the mistake of choosing mobility instead of weapon finese.  The result was that he was nearly impossible to hit (good AC, dodge, mobility, and small size), but never landed a punch in combat.  The only thing he was good for was "mage bodyguard".  And since I couldn't hit anything, I'd just block anyone who got near the spellcasters and kept them busy until someone else showed up and helped me.  I've never been so bored in a game in all my life! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />Thankfully, just as I was getting ready to quit, myself, the DM pulled the plug stating that he couldn't keep up (my guess it that the group was just too big to handle properly).  But I learned my leason from that: If you insist on playing a monk in a point buy game take weapon finese as soon as possible.</blockquote>
