Gah, gotta sign into my e-mail more often. I assume this is for Casey's campaign? I was originally going to try and avoid playing the Leader role this time and had a character idea set up months ago for a Minotaur Beastmaster Ranger working to expand trade to the east. However, I just realised that another character of mine I've always wanted to play actually falls right into?one of the?Leader classes for 4th Ed. More specifically, the Shaman class from Player's Handbook 2. An additional?Leader or someone with at least a small ability to heal like a crossclassed character would probably be a good compliment regardless though, especially if our group is big like it probably will be. I've given it a lot of thought, and I'll probably be playing Yeldroon Merthuus Delruun, Minotaur Shaman.?He comes from the area where Denmark is currently located today and his mentor spirits are leading him east. He is following them to understand why. If Casey wants I can type up a huge backstory for him to read, because it does in fact exist and would probably fit well into the established campaign universe. As for how you play your character, that's fine to me. As long as he's played believably there shouldn't be a problem. Kinda funny though, considering my character, Yeldroon, doesn't have a preference either way if it ever came up. Not that he's looking. And for all you who remember Ladsworth, no he was not gay, he was just delightfully innocent. And liked purple. Hey, it's a regal color, don't judge! -----Original Message----- From: Don Edwards <warrl@xxxxxxxxx> To: citansdnd@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wed, Aug 12, 2009 1:20 am Subject: [citansdnd] Character plans The character I'm building sees himself as a dancer. In game terms he's a fighter/ranger hybrid, which can easily be played (depending mainly on powers chosen) as a striker/defender or a defender/striker. In this case a primary striker would be more in-character. But if Casey decides not to allow hybrids, the character would be pushed toward being a primary defender. Also I want to play this character as openly homosexual. (No sex scenes.) But if anyone thinks that would be overly disruptive or prevent the game from being fun, I can drop it.
