03-12-06, 04:32 AM OK, here's the deal, I'm gonna be the only player in my DM's campaign so I'll be running 4 lvl 15 characters (really high powered campaign). My DM says I can control all of them from a rules side of things but he'll roleplay three of them so I can roleplay just one but well. The party:
-Old Madaxe-Dwarven barbarian 13/horizon walker 2
-Bones-Human cleric 3/sorcerer 6/pale master 3/true necromancer 3
-Actharia Dwarrofelth-Elven fighter 4/sorcerer 4/arcane archer 4/dragon disciple 3
-Cladenchia Thicellgret-Elan psion(kineticist) 7/pyrokineticist 8
My question to all of you is which should I roleplay? Their all cool and flavourful characters but which one most so?

03-14-06, 02:49 PM Sorry, but names and classes do not an interesting persona to role play make. Or something like that.

Why not work out their backgrounds, personality quirks and see which one seems the most fun? After all, you're going to tell them how to squish things, so their class is (essentially) unimportant. If by "rules," you don't include combat, then you can figure in class and combat ability to which one you pick.

03-14-06, 04:00 PM I have got the background for Madaxe worked out so here you go:

Ten years ago whilst he was on watch after the festival of the half moon forge he'd had a little too much to drink and fell asleep at hi post. He woke up to a stench of burning as he looked in horror at the blazing remains of his home town. Later he found out a group of troll hunters had come with an ogre mage and torched the unprepared city. He lost everything in the flames of that night and, driven by a mixture of grief and pride, vowed to end his life in a noble battle against a worthy foe. He went on to hunt down and kill every troll and finally the ogre mage in that fateful raid and took to the life of a mercenary adventurer to find a path to his glorious demise. Unfortunatley for him, and his opponents, he has proved to be a very able adventurer indeed and seems nigh on indestructible in battle. He would never shame himself by either commiting suicide or by fighting poorly and allowing his adversary to triumph. In his travels he has discovered that the raid was planned and paid for by a druegar by the name of Iorik Burnesomn and has recently sworn another oath, one that seals his and Ioriks demise. He plans to head into the druegar city, sneaking to the house of Iorik then, after killing the druegar and his family, put the house to the torch and take all comers single handedly. His allies don't intend to allow him to fight this battle alone and will stick by him to his valiant grave!

I'm working on the other three so, watch this space!
