[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7921874, member: 22779"] That is the point though. What is "in line with the PBH"? Considering the [I]ahem[/I] interpretations of the PHB that I've seen in this thread alone, that's not exactly the easiest thing to follow. But, my point is, in what way is my cleric with a criminal background who has a drug dependency out of line with the rules? And, since we're straying pretty far from "your class is not your character", how does having a given class preclude a given way of depicting that class? Since a given class can be depicted in multiple and often contradictory, ways, how can it be claimed that your class MUST be the driving force behind the depiction of your character. It's funny. I've suggested multiple times in the past that the character's race should have a big impact on how the character is played, and I was told in no uncertain terms that I was wrong and that I was badwrongfunning folks for even suggesting that a dwarf or an elf should be played differently from a human. And, I'm pretty sure that at least one of those folks is in this thread telling folks that changing how a class is portrayed is home brewing and breaking the rules. :erm: [/QUOTE]
