02-16-06, 07:01 PM I'm not sure if this would be the place for this, but I want to do a character that's an alcoholic. How would I do this? I know there are rules for drug addiction in Book of Vile Darkness, but they don't have just plain old ale in there. What do you guys recomend? Both rules and roleplaying suggestions are appreciated.

An alcoholic usually needs money; at least, at low level. A character able to kill an adult dragon and share his hoard with his friends would certainly be able to pay more ale he would be able to drink in his life!

They would find him half hungover the next morning at his house. His house was stocked full of wine, which he always carried on their adventures. He was a Elf priest of Oghma (FR God of Lore.)
