Frankly, I'm far more embarrassed of actions I took as a DM then anything on my character sheet(s) (and let me assure you, I DID roll an 18 comeliness for my 18 Charisma bard...that in and of itself is an interesting anecdote, as I was NOT the first person in my gaming group to purchase the Unearthed Arcana).<br /><br />No, I just haven't got to "him" yet...nor to one or two other prominent PCs in my old campaign(s). But if this blog continues, I'm sure that eventually I'll get around to embarrassing myself and disgusting you all!<br />; )JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532311924539491087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-5292457747642915852009-08-10T21:52:14.342-07:002009-08-10T21:52:14.342-07:00Well, to be honest I only posted an example I coul...Well, to be honest I only posted an example I could bear to admit to in public--I did have an archmage with 15/20/18/17/16/17, oodles of magic items, a cloud castle, and a Barrier Peaks Blaster Rifle with lots 'n' lots of power disks to boot.<br /><br />Still,Ya got me beat. ;-)Jaysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03652611193354218021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-91842344455511589272009-08-10T14:22:12.828-07:002009-08-10T14:22:12.828-07:00Wow...the idea that a shaved dwarf is even uglier ...Wow...the idea that a shaved dwarf is even uglier than one with full facial hair...and probably grumpier, too, because of it...yeah, I'd say that warrants a 3 Charisma.<br /><br />Your attributes are nothing compared to some. MY best character started with a 17/14/16/15/12/18/22, but finished his career with a 19/16/18/17/16/19/24 or thereabouts. But that was AD&D1e, not B/X.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532311924539491087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-29637609225917982592009-08-10T10:33:01.487-07:002009-08-10T10:33:01.487-07:00I alternately wince or roll my eyes when I look at...I alternately wince or roll my eyes when I look at my AD&D character sheets from my Junior High School days, around about 1981. 16/16/15/18/17/17? Really?<br /><br />I have recently realized that B/X was the most fun I've had playing D&D, and I wonder if what you mention here isn't one of the reasons. I do recall playing a Dwarf with a 3 Charisma (I figured he didn't have a beard and wasn't able to grow one, which of course made him an outcast...)Jaysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03652611193354218021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-35521182152724909722009-06-27T14:04:21.589-07:002009-06-27T14:04:21.589-07:00Cyclops Man-Hammer is a perfect example of why I d...Cyclops Man-Hammer is a perfect example of why I don't like stat requirements (or lots of bonuses for high stats making them effectively required).<br /><br />Trust me to not be a min/maxing weeny. Let me play what I want. In return I'll trust you as a DM and not require bunch of crap rules to "protect" me from you.<br /><br />Increasing lack of trust (both ways) it what characterizes RPG(esp D&D) development over past 30 years.Norman J.
