[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 4960881, member: 22779"] I think I missed the question in the scrum, so I'll answer it now. :p How do you present your character without taking up too much time? Without ado, here's my process: [SIZE=5]Hussar's Method for Making Sure Everyone at the Table Knows You're a Half-Elf[/SIZE] [sblock]Without being obnoxious about it.[/sblock] [B]Tagline 1.[/B] Successful Skill Check: "When I was a child, my mother sent me to live with her people in the Feywild. While I was there, my uncle told me about these things. They are... (insert information here) [B]Tagline 2.[/B] Unsuccessful Skill check (used after #1) "My uncle never told me about these!" [B]Tagline 3.[/B] Smack talk "You look vaguely familiar, did my uncle leave a tip for your grandmother?" [B]Tagline 4.[/B] Vaguely annoyed. "Ah man, another flea bitten town. Let me cover my ears. Bloody merchants see the points and jack up the prices twenty per cent!" [B]Tagline 4.5[/B] Vaguely annoyed again. "Ah man, another flea bitten town. Let me cover my ears. Last time some yokel thought I was a bloody tiefling and tried to get a priest to exorcise me!" [B]Tagline 5[/B] Expletive "By the grove of my mother!" [B]Tagline 6[/B] Expletive "Y'know what? I come in two halves. And both of them want you dead!" There. That's all it takes. I came up with that in a few moments. It doesn't have to take up huge game time, it doesn't have to dominate the game or the character. Drop one of the above lines in a game from time to time, maybe every session or three and poof! Everyone know's you're a half elf. And knowing is half the battle. :D [/QUOTE]
