[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5367253, member: 19675"] and I agree with Saeviomagy to a point, but I've never been one to let punishment keep me from achieving my goals, so I do come up with some oddball characters:p Which is why I'm going to ask this question of DocMoriartty: Under your proposed system, how would you and I come to agreement on the design of a 1st level human PC who wears armor, swings a maul and breathes lightning, considering that there has been no opportunity to roleplay? At this point, all you have in this thread is his backstory, summed up as: good looking son of a whore and a half-dragon mercenary, became a bouncer at the brothel, left when he accidentally killed someone powerful's slumming son for getting too rough with his beloved, who was only a seamstress, not a whore. If you need more, ask. Think of it as a way to prove the efficacy of your system to a skeptic- if you're even close, that bodes well for your ability to sway a potential player. (For the record: this question is based on a 3.5 PC that I've actually played, using rules from only the PHB and CompArcane.) [/QUOTE]
