Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chimera" data-source="post: 235902" data-attributes="member: 2002">As someone else pointed out, all of these bad characters were the children of bad players.I played a bad character in the last campaign, but that was all a mistake.  Bunch of 9th and 10th level characters.  I asked what they needed, the GM told me.  He was wrong. I played a Bard 3 / Transmuter 6.  Only to find that I am seriously overmatched in any combat (and thus spend most of it running away and hiding, rather than helping out) and all my buffing spells are wasted on people who have their own buffing spells and devices.  After casting two useful spells (Magic Missile and Dispel Magic) in our final combat for that campaign, I spent the rest of the very long combat flying back and forth over the roof-tops trying to stay away from the bad guys.  I missed every shot I took (with his bow) and wasted some spells when the targets vanished.Ended up getting killed by Evard's Black Tentacles.  Somehow ALL of them hit.  Scratch one PC.Of course, that combat could have been the result of a Luck Vampire.  The guy next to me, playing a Halfling Cleric/Rogue, made every single save (a whole lot of them), hit nearly every attack, and was never hit by the bad guys.  He came out of it at full hit points.  Simply Amazing Luck.</blockquote>
